Keith Dodd of Minispares, 1st Mini & 2nd a Wolseley Hornet.

Keith's first Mini about 1966 was a cheap very high mileage Morris Van 217BGW with gold seal engine.


His second was a Wolseley Hornet DMP513A, when purchased secondhand in 1967 was originally blue and had a Taurus engine conversion which was a 28/36 down draught Weber carb on a gas flowed head and free flow manifold.

"Keith Dodd started Mini Spares Centre back in 1975 as a direct result of seeing the need for specialist Mini knowledge. Having spent his whole working life with the BMC network he realised there was a large customer base for people who owned and raced Mini's."
