Trying to decide what to do with my toys.
Only really need one.
plan is to race it regularly.
What would give the most pleasure...

1964 Cooper Nb race car... 1293, not extreme, but period and fun

1996 Rover Mini road reg race car... a/c, leather, 1275 EFI.
pretty standard, but can drive it to the track, run reliably and drive home.

1995 Rover Mini Sports Sedan... 4EFTE, big horsepower(for a mini), big brakes.
lots of modern bits, 4 wheel discs, EFI(haltech) etc.

If it cant lap Mallala in under 1.20 it just not fast enough, that said some of the closest battles to watch seem to be in the historics..... And are there any sports sedans still around? Wow I really helped there :).

Build a proper Mini... a classic Morris.

Rover Sports sedan is gonna be a pain in the arse to build/finish, and the Rover road reg u already have going.

But the decision is yours, and you know what i've voted for :D

Are you going to finish this one??? :P

I think you should go the 13b powered real wheel drive one from years ago...

or the Nb as you're getting old and losing hair so you'd fit in well :lol:

Nb for sure. More competition, more people running what you are.

I'm thinking Nb for full grids and lots of minis running.
but my heart is with sports sedans... lots more power, lots more i can modify and play with

Don't make you come there and slap you silly, go with the Nb's. More cars and more fun, could even have a run at Bathurst eventually...

Just stick with it this time

Duno about you.... But I called him the other night to register my interest in the frame and motor. :wink:

I can get the frame easy, but not so with the motors.
