about 650kg i think

so probably 120bhp per tonne

fairly nippy, but would have been better with a bigger engine IMO

The good thing about mini's though is because theyre so low down, they feel faster than they really are. The handling is also amazing.

Nice find sunshine.

How much do I want that beige Escort 'Tis sssssssso

Nobody would suspect a thing, until you vapourised the back tyres and drove away diagonally.

Mini is a little cracker too.

Edit: Twin Cam 'scort too Rare as rocking horse vomit, and will be LARGE dough.

Post it up moosh.

Yeah.

Minter will cost you 15k or possibly more now.

That said, bidding aint' finished yet.

I remember seeing an ex Vatanen Rothmans car go for about 46K in the classified section of Autosport in about 1990/91.

Dread to think what a mint RS1600 would go for now aswell.

Especially a nice Alan Mann tarmac racer.

Probably worth double that now.

Trouble is, it would cost you 75k+ to build an equivalent car.

So whether it's heritage vehicle or modern replica, you're gonna lose your shirt.

Wish I had money. Would go silly motorwise.
