Hi guys,

Hello from New Zealand, Pretty cool site you have here!

I have a Canadian Ex Works Mini Racecar that was bought out to NZ in the late 1970's. It was campaigned by Abingdon Motors in Vancover and won the Western Canadian Saloon Car Championship 2 years running as part of a two car team. Car was originally pearl white with Abingdon Motors accross the top 1/3 of front windscreen.

It is an April 1960 shell (one of the lightweight shells from the first 2 years)

I bought the car about 11 years ago, with a 1430cc engine with a Richard Longman inclined value head on it.

It is now running a 1370cc 5 port engine with a large Ball bearing Garrett turbo off the last of the Z31 3.0L V6 300zx (single turbo) with a custom intercooler and a HIF6 turbo carb from a 2.0L MG Montego

Approx 200hp on 17psi, lots of fun!

PS. Car will be for sale shortly

Actually impressive.
Looks like the intercooler is side-mounted. Is there a fan on it ? Air extractor ?

Yes, it is side mounted, there is a alloy duct under the guard which routes all air that goes thru the open LH headlight hole thru the intercooler, then there are also vents in the bonnet to let air out. No fan on intercooler or Rad, also no alternator.

Thanks! Yes there was a little pic in Mini World quite a few years ago now, prob 8-9 i would say, it was like this back then. A photographer from Mini World drove it on the track (and crapped himself) it was running much lower boost way back then too *wink* The pic of the car on the track was actually taken by him, hanging out the back of the boot of a car driving in front of me.

The same Photographer did a full mini world article on my now ex girlfriends Bright yellow Mini Clubman1275GT, that i built for her, I think it had a picture of us in it too from memeroy.

Rick, i actually looked at selling it Overseas a few years back, as NZ is quite a small market for a niche car like this. I would interested in helping anyone arrange a purchase/shipping etc offshore if i knew it was going to a good home. Last time i toyed with selling it, heaps of people wanted to try and make it road legal - which really isnt an option. It is a race car end of story!

Get some better pic's up,

What sort of figure have you in mind ??

It would have to be kept as a track car, would be a nighmare on the road, i was planning on mine being on the raod but the more it developes the more its just going to be a pure track car it wont work as both.

What do you race the car in and any achevements with it.

Rick

ps sorry for all the questions, i just remember seeing it years ago and always wanderd what it was.

Hi Rick,

Raced it in anything from Super Mini Challenge to classic car racing events against 600hp Holden Monaro's etc, with much success.

Havn't raced it for about 3 years now. It has a freshly rebuilt engine.

I would be asking 6k Bristish pounds.
