hey dude,

just edited the thread,, its a 1988 1 litre mayfair,,, its an austin mini.

condition is good.
it has aftermarket wide arches (not stupidly wide) and one of them is a bit rusty,, but they look easy enough to replace.
recently had a paint job so it looks mint :)
any ics of yours :D

yeah was thinking for a vtec yO too but i think will leave it "classic sports" some head work on a 13cc head using the 1000cc block flywheel etc etc..

theres a guy in malta who used a fiat uno fire head on a 1098 mini block! and he said its faster than a 1300cc. also there are some b16s minis, turbo minis, supercharged and the list goes on..
