A rocket-like 18.4seconds for my 1975 Mini 1000, I replaced it with a 1968 VW Beetle 1200 which took a glacial 32.1 seconds.

I had the sportier and flashier version, 1303s 22.5 secs of arse out fun.

[raceboy]

16 seconds for my trusty Lancia Y10 FIRE.

[Camoradi]

Ford Anglia

[cerb4.5lee]

Skoda super estelle 120L, not sure how long it took to do 0 to 60 but it only had 49bhp...so ages.

[andburg]

1994 Rover 216, 109bhp and 9.5s

A big comfortable rocket compared to friends in 1.0 shoeboxes

[BigMon]

[Mike335i]

C reg Vauxhall nova merit 1.0L

0-60 don't know parkers guide doesn't have any figures. In my experience, 0-60 probably 1 day if you used the M1 as a run up down a hill.

In reality probably well in to 20 seconds.

[F1GTRUeno]

1.4 Megane with the arse - 12.1 seconds allegedly.

[LeoSayer]

Something like 9.9 seconds but it felt a lot faster with the 5 cylinder engine.

1981 Audi Coupe 1.9 GT-5S with 115bhp

[SEE YA]

Mini never made it that far .

[Twig62]

MK 2 Cortina 1.3 pre crossflow with 90k on the clock which would only have got to 60 MPH if you pushed it off of Beachy Head.
