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-)

Ok not amazingly quick but fun to drive & not many SR's left now. 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
