brickworx - maybe you should be coming to Minis on the Murray as there should be a wide cross section of mini owners from various states all in the one place at one time.

Anton I agree with Harley on this one...get an engine in it and drive JAM around during the week...and save & investigate on the Rover Engine...
I also like the Idea..Just hope it come off for you

We have three minis here done up like cooper s's(one is real.
to look on the outside/interior you would think they are an early mini.
But under the engine bay is a EFI engine purring away.
Old looks... modern mechanicals

Excuse my ignorance but what does front cut mean ...... does it mean you get the entire front end of a rover and plonk it into you clubby?or what?
sorry again for my ignorance I'm only 15

pat


Yep the whole front end including Air Con etc....what I want to know is if any of these A+ come with verto clutches...and whether you can get parts for them out here??? :?

MrBob the Rovers struggle to produce the same power as a well tuned Cooper S but as has been said, refined, smooth etc etc
