Thats brilliant!

There was a Rover v8 mini, that used to frequent some meets that i might of been partaking in, back in the late 70's

Was probably not road legal though!

awesome

love the way he is fighting with the diff

not much 'mini' left of it tho

that's rather damn nifty!

just love the idea of the powertec motor, although i can think of other cars i'd rather fit it to.

Still has fairly teeny tiny Disc brakes though.
Don't even want to remember the number of times i had to take out the pads on my 'S' to deglaze them back into usefulness after getting the discs to glowing bright red.. most days.

Apart from the wonders of a pocket sized V8 install, the spaceframe chassis, the beautiful suspension that has to be one of the most perfectly presented cars I have seen in a while. Awesome.
Just watched the video. Wow! It's a bit quick. All he needs to do is pinch Lewis Hamiltons rear tyres and put them on the front of the mini!
