Nice selection of minis Lee76. I like the miglia minis, are they MB split rims 10x7? That green also looks quite nice, what type of green is that if you don't mind me asking?

Here is my R1 mini,

Back in the green days:





And now, its matured up a bit

[lee76]

The green is Honda egmont green and yes the wheels are MB splits, on me dads sprint Mini they were 7.5x10 and my modified saloon they were 7x10.My racer used to hold the record for the most power for an aspirated 1380cc that Peter Baldwin had seen on his rollers

Awesome mini's Lee
As it happens i've got the miniworld that the 8 port was featured in (and on the cover of) in 1999 right next to me.
Great read and great car. What happened to it in the end?

I took the engine out fitted an MG metro unit and sold it on for about £6k from what I remember and the engine went to Ireland to be used in grass racing.

[Tim1970]

Fair enough.
Had an awesome spec.
And love the splits on the green one.

Just found out the 8-port was converted to an historic rally car and has since been sold to Russ Swift.

[Tim1970]

Nice looking a bit different now then.
Good to see it's still out there getting put to good use.
Realised the other day your dads cooper's in the same mag.
Looks stunning.
