Rotherham, South Yorkshire

Because they don't do Q plates any more. It would go through an IVA and get an age related plate as it's a low volume brand new car.

I know a bloke who did a 500 bhp sierra cosworth. That was on a w or 51 plate I think.

The question for me isn't how..... It's why??

What's the point?

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.

It would be fine if you were working on it 8 hours a day?! It's not as if there's any of welding to do.

Shropshire.

Cost seems about right, what would concern me is the lack of company info.. I'm sure an established company like 'retro power' would do this.

Is it just me or am I messing somthing?


- New, tuned & bench run-in ford Duratec 2.0L engine, on a 5 speed gearbox, LSD also available at cost.
(145 BHP base spec, many other specs / engines including a genuine factory Cosworth option, although the price may make your eyes water a little)

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Really good I'd imagine, you'd be hard pressed to build a car badly from all new parts. *tongue*

I'm quite intrigued actually. No reason why not. There's a lot of people out there who have no idea about minis or even mechanical knowledge so this ideally suited to someone who wants a mini without all the issues of a mini. But, I know to some people that's what makes a mini. Although that engine transplant. I'm unfamiliar with that conversion. What's it like?

i got nothing but time..

Sound a bit like they are trying to do what Frontline is doing with their MG LE50:


My neighbour has one, quite impressive.


Still, not having a website or any info on the web does make it suspicious....

Dazed and Confused....

pretty sure I wouldn't spend that kind of money on it, my wife would kill me, now if I came back with an audi or something then I would be ok.

A quick google of the phone number throws up a load of stuff about a wedding company that seems to be in roughly the correct location.
So maybe it is a new company?
