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!

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!
