Not a mini, but an interesting turbocharged Nova. this is in fact the car that inspired me and Ben to build ours.

I remember that in CCC. Interesting use of a 1.2 sleeved down to a 1000cc bore.

I wonder if he couldn't make it go as well as Andy Bradley did? Have competed against this v nice.

Just as well the the ad not on our forum as the Fentonator would have something to say - newbie, no location & no price lol!

I have been to his rolling road in the Cotswolds where it is kept and it is a nice set up he has down there. The car is great though.

The CR is a bit low for 1.5 bar with mappable ignition and fueling. I would have guessed a 980cc crossflow head with that boost would make more power too

I remember seeing a white nova in a mag that was pretty mad,

IIRC the guy could lift the rear ala Fenton.

Pretty sure it had an XE in it destroked to about 1400cc

Was kept not owned by him anymore - a Colin Smith!

I believe Andy Bradley's dad was killed driving a Bentley at an event or something?? That was when I believe he took over the garage full time and when he sold the car???

That's an interesting question. But as I have no information on his time I can make no comparison.

There is a price of £6k listed now. seems reasonable to me.

The only time I can find for this car are not at events that we have not competed in.
