I believe 11 was Austin and 8 was Morris, though I think all the later cars were fitted with 8

11 was standard Mini, 8 was Cooper (except for Mk3 Cooper S which had the standard 11)

Still here, though it’s been a while! Unfortunately had to sell the mini and engine, but planning to buy it back very soon. I would love to go 16v head with a view to going turbo. :)

Long shot but does anyone have a gearbox for an MR20DE engine? My standards are really low as all I am after is the bell housing half of the casing to use for mock up on a project.

debating putting the black beast up for sale as jus not able to enjoy it with health taking a massive turn for the worse

So sorry to hear your health has taken a turn for the worst. I'd try and keep it but agree if you cannot drive it maybe moving it on is for the best. Regards, Steve

thanks mate, its so disheartening having a car that i just can't drive and it seems a shame for it to be tucked away when i built it to be used.

I have too many and cant move around in my lockup...
One of them is scrap (VERY rusty Inno) but I decided to keep the shell for now on a home made high shelf so it is out of the way.
The other is a future project but both are too heavy in one piece to lift up on the shelf.
Need to work on my friends 55 Bel Air that has been on hold for two years too...

Lucas if you look it is applied at point unlike earlier where you got a revised order with the discount then added. It caught me out first time.
