Hi all
Im a new member, i just registed the other day

A while back i was talking too a mate and he was talking about the super persuit special mini, (a '78 clubman model)
i've hever heared about this before.

I was wondering if anybody else has heard about it?
Does anyone have information about these cars? (photo's etc...)
Were they used by the police?
Does anyone know what specs they were?

I have never heard about it but by then the pursuit peaple such as the police had alrady been through the GTR Toranas, the Valiant Chargers and were were on V8 Torana LH etc.

There was a quantum leap in performance (not necessarily handling though) with each of these and the mini (what ever its state of tune) was fairly out classed by any of the above in terms of what was necessary for pursuit work.
