Yellow 1800

[The T Boy]

Hello all,

I was down in deepest Devon last week and saw a yellow slab fronted mini parked up in Stover Golf Club near Newton Abbott. It had a 1800 badge on the back and looked in great condition. Does anyone on here own it or know of it? Is it a genuine 1800 and if so what lump does it have under the bonnet?

It looked amazing in a slightly aggressive way and reminded me of days thrashing around in my old 1275.

There's a mini with an Austin Maxi or Landcrab motor (1800cc) on E-Bay at present
The description and reason for sale make amusing reading

theres a guy in harrogate who has one.

its not called the 'widowmaker' for nothing, its quick in a straight line, but understeers like a supertanker!

Probably an 1800 Rover K conversion, or maybe a Vauxhall.

No one likes to admit to the old E-series conversions these days !!

Or as likely a 1800cc Honda V-Tec conversion.

E-Series conversions... ....... ah go on then
