I'm curious though as I have photo's of one running at Grafton Hillclimb years ago that was owned by the owner of a Brookvale grit or sand blasting buisiness , it was red and the front bodywork wasn't as modified but it still had twin cooper s motors . Going from the rollcage on a khana special doogie posted a while back it may be running without the goggo body now or is this the same one and someone copied the rollcage for the khana special ????

I'm really interested in bidding on this. . .BUT most transport companies wont deal with a car that is non-running and has no brakes (car would have to be transported from NSW to Perth).
Anybody have any ideas/links/suggestions of companies that might be able to help me out (without sending me broke)?

get one of us to pick it up, buy a little trailer for it... and use the 'round Australia Mini Relay Team!

(I am moderately serious - might take 6 months, but you'd at least get it to Adelaide I'm sure)

Trewin Transport moved my Traveller from Sydney to Melbourne, not running and with only partial handbrake. They didn't charge that much but thats the only good thing I can say about them. They have depots in Sydney and Perth

Tim

and if all went to plan, ie. no-one stole it or it didn't get lost or broken it would make an awesome story. probly worth publishing in the mini experience.

With no engines and a fibreglass body....you could probably strap it to a pallet...throw a tarp over it.... and get it forked onto something and trucked home

How does one change gears, and accelerate and put choke on etc on such a beast?

I know currently it has no motor(s), but when it does is there some genius way of making the clutch activate on both motor equally put into the same gear (with one stick??) and go from there.... I've seen silly twin engine ideas on 'Thunder Racer's' which involved reversing the gear layout (somehow) to engage the correct gear on both boxes?!?

It would be a bitch to tune, but having said that what a beast it would make!

Are diffs an issue? I first thought it might be, but then thought no hang on, it should work all good as each diff is independent to each drive train, if you have a 4wd mini, it would stress the hell out of everything and break something, with a 4wd mini with one motor and no centre diff.

I wonder how it would handle whilst being thrashed?!?! It would probably snap the back around but stay in control as it's effectively an AWD, holy crap!

I would have thought tha tbecause both engines are mounted in the same direction (thus evertying lines up), you could just create another linkage from the gear stick so you've got one doing forwards to the front engine and one going back to the rear engine.

Or have I just over simplified it and it doesn't work that way??

Who's got a Picture of a Twinny which may help here...Interesting Question regarding to the Gear Changer.
Clutch I would guees would be a T Piece from master instead of the single pipe and Acc would have two cables

You would want both Engine putting out or close to the same Hp
