For those who have interest in my on going search, in order to find another JanSpeed survivor.

I knew from Norm, who worked at JanSpeed back then, that they only made a "handfull"

This is now confirmed by "The Man" himself = Janos Ódor.

He told Paul Chudeki (reporter from CC/CustomCar mag) that they only made/sold 3 converted Metro,s .

The article is dated June 1987 (JanSpeed,s 25 anniversary) .

Not much hope of finding a survivor, with those bad odds *frown*

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

So far I only managed to find Turbo Phil,s and the sad incomplete remains, of 2 setup,s on Ebay.

There were some famues British actor/comedian ? who had one built,
cant remember his name, but I have it written down somewhere.

All is not found yet, so yes - there is hope .

Hi Phil,

well the way some Mini owners reacted, to the 300 pound asking price, for the incomplete setup, I wouldnt get my hopes up *happy*

But on the other hand is yours complete, and sitting on its original JanSpeed built engine.
this makes it very rare, but if you can find someone who will pay, is a different question ?
