I've read a bit about this. rotrex supercharged, 7 port injected. 180nana's "i think"

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

leeds/wakefield.

built by a fella not 1/2 mile from me,

i used to compete against this car many moons ago, Mather Pinder was a good agressive driver , and after the car returned form a visit from Alan Ataniforth at Terrapin services it was very quick, ,

Now in the hands of Any Wilson

I remember seeing the white version of that Metro back in the late 90s.

Looking at the date on that Harewood video it was 1998 -- I might've been competing at the same event! Although I've a feeling it was earlier in the year I was there as whenever I went to Harewood it was always frigging cold and wet! I knew the gravel pit at the 3rd bend intimately.

There was an Austin Cooper S MkII that had the same induction setup with the air filter poking up through the bonnet.

leeds/wakefield.

iv'e never seen an Island blue mini with an IDA poking out the bonnet in all my years of competeing and spectating at Harewood.

the above is not correct on account of mwe geting mixed up between Island blue and that turquoise colour you see some early S's in ,

yes there was an Island blue S and still is i beleive it belonged/belongs to Dave West, another Qqick car that ran Longman motors, he was 6mph quicker through the speed trap than me at Harewood, when i was runnig the Don in marque sports and touring and Dave was in road modified.
