Its 1430cc goes like, well a quick mini. all the usual extras... very good condition, very little rust.
Could do with a new front end after this little bump.

He is looking for around 2.5k, it is worth it i would say, as it has a load of extras and goes like a bat out of hell.

They are 74mm omegas, the guy who he got the engine from sourced them. Dont know where he got them from.
They are now available again however. He is using a 4 core rad and an oil cooler.

Would you buy a car off anyone who is "super tight".

Nope, me neither, lordy only knows how many corners have been cut to save some money.

I was a few more cars behind the car filming the footage, running for the minis at the 1st york raceway drag event of the year, from what i can remember been told it was the slines on the steering rack that gave way,sure the guys told me it had only been fitted days before! rest of the car seemed ok,

Just my 2p's worth :P
