My Old Mini


YeOldeTDUMan

Recommended Posts

Here's My first car ... from many, many, many moons ago

 

When I first got her she was an 850 Super Deluxe (850cc of pure power!)

 

Then after Uni I started working and spent in total about 8 grand on her ... 2.5 grand on the engine alone ... a lovely Swiftune 1380cc Road Rocket fed by a 45 Weber

 

I sold her a fair few years ago and then I heard she got sold on again.

 

If you ever see her on the road be careful ... she can do 0-60 sub 6 secs, over 100mph (I think i got her to 110mph around Castle Combe), pull away from rest in 4th gear!!!! Oh and light the front tyres at 70mph in 4th!!!!

 

I miss her ... occasionally
