There were a limited number built by BMC I believe as track/race/sprint cars, hence the name. But you can buy sprint shells, I believe they are fibre glass also!

I was wondering if anyone has got any pictures of a really low mini with alot of negative camber as I really want to gauge how low and negative camber i should go with mine.

Looks like most of the Minis in this thread are nothing like that.

[Driezzie]

these are not the arches the mcLean Bros are offering are they ? And the wheels are 13x8 instead of 13x7 right ?

[alex-95]

The wheels are 13x8, i'm not sure on the arches.

[Driezzie]

I know it's a racer but still...

Yep, those are the arches that they sell. However, he changed them for this show season as you can see in the later pictures they curl over the wheels more, these are not the ones they sell. James' mini had the arches they sell fitted http://www.mcleanbro...m/Products.html

Are you serious?

The wheels fit the arches perfectly. The front could be a ball hair lower, but that's about it.

Sprints were never built by BMC, they were designed and built by Neville Trickett and Geoff Thomas (GT Equipment, then sold through Rob Walkers Corsley Garage) later the production rights were sold to Stewart and Arden, the original cars are metal. There have been lots of replicas over the years, both metal and fiberglass, but to be an original Minisprint it's got to have been cut and welded by the people and companies mentioned in my opinion ( fair play to anyone that's done one themselves though)

Driezzie, What wheels/Tyres are on your car in this Pic. This is the stance i'm looking for. Have been jumping back n forth on Sport pack and W&P's and this picture sintched it. That is one awesome looking Mini.
