I couldnt possibly put a finger on an "ultimate mini" for myself..... would need to have a DAMN big garage to hold each of the "ultimate minis" - each mini having a different look and sound.... i blame that on my Gran Turismo addiction....

I think one of the definite ULTIMATE's would be a small car with a LOUD bark and a BIG bite...

Does anyone remember the Super Sedan racing series that went around?? Alfa Romeo's with chev V8's, a commodore with a big block HEMI, a 7 litre 300ZX...... that was my FAVOURITE class of racing...

Well, here would be MY entry to that class if i had the chance...

Morris mini body, Space frame chassis, WIDE body kit, WIDE slicks..... oh, and a 7 litre V8, rear wheel drive... of course ... very similar in styling to the one below..









Incase you're wondering, i am not obsessed with having bodykits on minis.... only on the CrAzY ones...

One that runs like it should every time and that feels like waking up every morning\day\night that you need her.


Oh yea and itd have to be a 1070 works, red and white special.

Yeah I think a works rally special would be sweet. A mate of mine has a red 850 sitting in the garage and all it needs is a white roof, some minilites etc, oh and spots on the front! (Come to think of it, I'd like a row of four spots on the front of my Mini - it increases the fun of those 'midnight rally stages' on public roads )

Anto.

Well talk to the man out at Padstow!

Not many real ones about, a made up one just changed hands from Canberra. You start with a van, pick up your angle grinder, carefully remove rear of roof above the waisteline....and so on...why not have a go! There is one being built here....but don't hold your breath...

The sports sedans you speak of are still going around some of our tracks...search for Hossack and chev etc .....the truth is out there!

Seven litres of V8 would transform the Mini to an overpowered slug!

Depends how far ya wanna go:

If I was buying a classic mini without too much modification, my ultimate mini, would be the little red Rover that Charlize Theron had her cute lil butt in for the new Italian Job. And the driver's seat would take pride of place above the TV

Modified to the hilt......... This with Rego Plates hehehehe


And for reality's sake in the years to come when I get too lazy to even check my spark plugs, the BBR Bini.

Of course if ya wanna get away from the car's I like this mini

I would like to take a clubby, chop the top and make a convertable without the padded roll bars that the Qld regs require put a round nose on it. Put a 'pretty' engine in it( lots of chrome and coloured bits as my wife calls it) paint it a bright canary yellow and drive it up and down Hastings St Noosa for all the Yuppies to look at.

I might add most of this is my wifes idea so if it means I get to play with a second Mini who am I to argue

No Clubman GTs were made in '78, I think they were only manufactired b/w 71 and 73 (right after the Cooper S was deleted oin Oz) using the excess S parts Leyland oz still had. Its basicaly a Cooper S MK2 in a Clubby body.

In the UK the Clubman 1275GT (different name and different specs) were made till the late 70's I think. They were not as potent as the Cooper S or the Oz Clubman GT.
