Vini – the Powerflex V8 Mini

[Kevin.]

Looks fantastic, a real put you sleeper. Have you seen the Renault Clio V6's ? They look awesome with the body kit but the real killer the engine is midship. So it is a baby supercar. I don't know but I think they must handle great. I bet they fly round the track like a quad skate.

It was gibberish then too!

Can we see it yet…?! The anticipation is hard to take!

Had a look over this yesterday at Goodwood. Absolutely amazing level of fit and I finish and massive kudos to you and everyone involved to make this what it is. Very impressive car indeed.

I'd absolutely love to see this in the metal for sure.

Few pics

Thank you for the pics.

[GTRene]

What a great build, perfect.

would love to know a few car builders with such eye for perfection in our neighborhoods.

Blimey - so subtle from the outside you’d struggle to notice it’s anything other than a well cared for MINI (unless you notice the arches). Such quality workmanship - love it.

Amazing. Kudos.

[Phil Dicky]

Would love to see that at some shows...have you any plans to show it in the future?

[Penelope Stopit]

Can't think of anything to add that hasn't already been posted by others

[Bobberoo]

Thanks for the pics, it really is fantastic, and a huge credit to both the owner and the builders!!!

It was a fantastic debut for Vini at FOS

Thank you very much to everyone who came to say hello and either stood there just staring or shaking their heads slack jawed.

No credit to us, we just knew what we wanted.

Eliot at EDM in Bicester was the OCD genius builder on more levels than I can explain.

He delivered the (engineering wise) finished car to the stand last Wednesday and we now have some software/engine-gearbox comms issues to address and then we can start track testing.

Whilst Vini will be attending shows and other events it will be very frequently used on track. It isn't a trailer queen.

I was amazed at the number of people who came to see the car and said that they had been following the progress on here so it is only fair that Pistonheads will get major access to the car for whatever they dream up to do with it.

Thanks again for all the support and encouragement on here

Not sure how I've only just seen this thread but wow what an incredible project! Looking forward to seeing the next stages.

Deeply satisfying to have followed from the beginning and see an end product that's somehow even better than expected.

It's the seats that do it for me!

Very well presented car.

Lots of others touting rubbish for silly numbers at FoS and this clearly stood head and shoulders above them.
