Downton Engineering the famous Mini modifiers is up for sale. £23K gets you the name, the ECU design on the latest cars and all the tooling including a rear mould for the Broadspeed.

A bargain for those with Japanese connections I would have thought...

Dont know, but there must be little more than a name left.

Their last run of cars was to compete with the Cooper Classic Sport 500's and there was only 5 of them.

Setting up a garage costs bucketloads unless you are prepared to do it very very slowly and if you did that chances are the window of oppurtunity would be lost.
