Nice little car, if it was not so far away I would bid on that,  up and coming 17 year old and on a car that old insurance should not be too bad. :) yes i know it would be Sacrilege  :-[

Looks good mate but for that money i'd want a rear beam axle, straight cut box & want to know the full engine spec not just the overbore. Prefer a flip front on a competiton Mini, much easier between races. I do have a little history with "Minbins"!!! :D :y 8-)

Very tempting and surprisingly quick little cars (they were sub 900Kg).

Add the Nova sport setup to it for a nice 100bhp loon machine!

I have to say that I personally would have the Nova over any Mini or MkII Escort
