Pro-Motive R1 powered mini on Rolling Road at Gaydon Show

[urbex2007]

Lovely car - how about a video of various stages of installing the engine?

I don't mean every single thing, maybe a time lapse type to show the "out with the old" and "in with the new". I'm going to have to think about on of these cars just to have something different.

is this third gear or fourth?and how many km/h was the peak?

It's worth building just for the sound alone.

thats gotta be too much power for the front wheels

@SignalLongboards I've just watched the video of the mini with the twin R1 engines. What a car that is - OMFG, it's SO fast and also handles really well. It has a twin gear shifter and also a transfer box to put the power from each engine to the wheels. A very clever design. I would much prefer a mini with the R1 than some modern cars - I would have it as a sleeper, plain on the outside and a rocket under the bonnet! I think they are brilliant.
