Good stuff Dougie.

What sort of poke does it make? Been in Stuart Wrights 190+bhp Turbo Miglia round Goodwood, that was really inpressive.

Yep its mad its 210BHP so more than enough but with the Redtop the Torque is awesome ( almost to the point too much )
But with the wide track and tiny steering wheel everything gets exaggerated
Finally got a Suspension guro round on Saturday to set it up correctly

Finally it drives aswell as it looks

Must be interesting through those Tiny 10j rims! Does hit have a slipper?

Yep its got a Quaife and 8x13's rather than 10's
As some of my mates laughed at me when I wanted 10's so I gave in and got 8x13's

Good call on the Quaifes (I dod like them), have on in my 6. Sensible on the 13's (optical illusiojn as they look like the 4 spoke Revolutions and so tight to the Miglia arches. The Crazy one I went in was on Miglia 10j's!

What an absolutely stunning job ..Congratulations. People who can do this sort of thing leave me in awe.

Cars like this provide the continunity of the mini. No doubt this will still be with us tearing up the road in fifty years!

Epic build and car, and despite the already heaverly notched bed post of mini modification, this is a definitive bench mark in the current mini world.....


love it!

Dougie,

My second post on this thread.

Dougie the photo's are great.

Can I ask you can you or your guys produce a carbon dash together from an original fibreglass part to use as a pattern?

Ballpark cost?

Im sure Rich will be along soon to answer your question
But it was a definate one off part
The amount of triming and cutting and ammending to get things fitting and that was before I arrived home with the Rollcage much to his amusement.
Buying it Im sure Rich would confirm would not be possible as people would physically not pay for the time that would be needed to do it.
And as you can see hes not interested in doing a half hearted job at it eithier

Lovely, lovely car.
