It is now halfords have bought the name. It was good before that.

I'd say it is pretty rare

Ripspeed was a famous Mini tuning company founded by Keith Ripp who was a well known Mini Rallycross champion in the 70's, also famous for his spectacular encounter with Mabbs' Bank at Lydden in Kent during BBC Grandstands coverage (shown on TV and video many times!).

I've got a catalogue here from about 12 years ago, and it appears that you got one of these puppies as part of a ' stage 2 kit '

Isn't ripspeed the chavvy halfraud associated brand?

does that mean I've got a chav-tastic stereo ? :genius:

Don't know if it's rare or not but I'm sure you could advertise it as such on eBay :genius: most Mini bits advertised on there are haha..
