Description:

Now road registered with a current MOT.  Coming in to the sixtieth year of the Mini, this is great time to be part of the family with loads of celebratory events scheduled.  It has to go, make me an offer!

The car resided with one Dutch/Belgian family since 1990 in the Netherlands and has won the European FIA Historic Touring car championship twice as well as numerous other notable races. In 2013, the car received a total upgrade by leading Mini Specialists Verbaas Preparations in the Netherlands and has only raced once since in the 2013 Historic Grand Prix at Zandvoort which resulted in a class win.

The car looks totally correct in Navy and Old English White and has current FIA Seats, Harness and Fire extinguisher and a 1293cc full race engine which is particularly 'torquey' which is advantageous on short circuits. The build spec is extensive but includes an LSD, SCCR gears, Koni race dampers, anti-roll bar, Minilites, Lexan windows, alloy foam-filled tank and more.

The current set up is for circuit use but the car is built in such a way that it can be easily converted for Historic Rallying. The car was exported from the UK in the early nineties and comes with a Belgian registration as well as the original English V5. Also offered with a current set of HTP papers meaning this car can also run in FIA pre- 1966 races ( it can run as a '65 car).

I bought this car with a view to running it in U2TC, but have had a change of plan.  Tidied up and sorted setup, engine could do with a few more horses to run at the front.
