I saw that car at north weald last sunday, looks pretty clean in the flesh obviosly a reshell though.

I've seen photos of it up here I'm sure but not sure if it is a member

Thats a hell of a car!!!

180bhp at 12psi is good going with a t3.....

the nitrous no doubt helps, tasty motor

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Anyone on here got experience with that carb?

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

Not me, would be tempted to try it though!!

Looks like a right little time machine that car.

that will be the early prototype 1966 shell they brought out with wind up windows, mk4 lights.............

I quite like the chrome strip around the rear valance seam.

Myaaa!

HI i ended up buying this car shell is a bit rough as is suspension it is a shame because some things are done very well and some have been done by stevie wonder.After a 550 mile round trip wasn't best pleased!!.

I can't be bothered to put things right on it as it would cost to much needs a reshell idealy so i am going to break it if anyone is interested in anything let me know the carb turbo and charge cooler set up is pretty impresive.I rarely get time to go on pc so don't be offened if it takes a while to get a response ideally give me a call 07765012407 thanks

Where abouts are you located?

Double post.

But is it really that bad, what bits on the shell are shot? Whats wrong with the suspension?

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

whats up with the shell? looks ok to me (on the outside lol)

are you sure its the suspension thats a problem? the 8" alloys will take some getting used too....

£3,400 for something that needs a reshell ! You must be gutted.

Hi shell is crud floorpans have been glued in!!!! it's a dog.
suspension wise everything ok just subframes are hammered.
All the parts on the car are decent had loads of cash thrown at it but why start with a crap shell? i am very very fussy with mini's anyway unless it is not perfect i am never happy was going to use it for a bit of a toy i will be keeping some stuff (cylinder head mainly) i am not greedy (unlike some of the morons on ebay)don't want to pay for anything but wan't a fortune for the bin fodder they sell, so as long as i get back some cash i am not to bothered i have not stripped it yet so don't know the condition of any of the parts as soon as i get round to it i will put a list up inc condition etc of everything for all i know it might have £40 slipper pistons in.

here is a few prices rims and tyres £200
seats harnesses and steering wheel £150

Also i think it is only right to keep the turbo, carb,charge cooler ,water injection and manifold together as there has been a lot of work gone in to it any offers.

I don't suppose anyone has any pics of this saved on thier pc? There's a few things I'd like to see under the bonnet.

Thanks
