Does anyone on here know anything about the Jack Knight 16v cylinder heads from the 90's and does anyone make them any more?

Cheers

Photo I took of the Jack Knight 16V Mini at Brands Hatch in the early 1990's. It went up against the 16V KAD Mini in 1994 for the 'Fastest Mini in the World Race". If I remember right it was a very close race between Peter Baldwin (JK) v Bill Sollis (KAD) and the KAD Mini won.

Very sad too. They were a good reputable company 'in the day' and even supplied the 5 speed gearboxes to Rover for fitting on the production line.
