  • 5:57 haha thats brilliant. no stress and propper gentlemen!

    gotta love those little cars! got 2 myself

  • The Monte Mini was geared for the 13 inch wheels which provided better grip and a greater range of tyres - there were no studded tyres available for instance. Steering was a little heavier but that was mainly due to the LSD, not the tyres.

  • @JGBrigden not at all, there is a company in the uk that makes kits that makes the mini rear engined, all you lose is the back seats, im tossing up between honda k20a and a hayabusa engine.

  • Do you mean the TV series Z Cars? If so they were pretty standard looking with a few Police additions. Good luck with it.

  • @JGBrigden thanks for that, i only ask because im looking at building a z cars mini, i was just unsure what the cars came with originally currently looking at 13x8s

  • @bagpuss170363 My husband posted this and got his facts wrong - it is one of the B reg'd works cars at mini spares! Have seen the original cars at Gaydon Motor Heritage Museum :o)

  • The only Minis with 13inch wheels were the competition ones as far as I am aware. This was the only way we could get the range of tyres needed for such an event. Dunlop did a splendid job on the road tyres while we had to get studded tyres specially made in Norway. Still have a few left!

    My own Mini EUO 868C will be back on the road soon. It last saw action, winning its class on the Ypres Rally more than 10 years ago. A few cobwebs and a bit of polish...

  • Er no...L33 EJB is in Japan.

  • @JGBrigden is that what the final edition minis had? 13s? because i noticed they look abnormaly large on the 2000 mini the very last of the old minis

  • still the mini might of lost but it did just as good as the other cars

  • No stress at 5:00 !!! Sorry for that !!!

    Very great !!!

  • Let down by a wrong fan-belt. If Paddy had been driving 33 EJB, it would have fitted!

    You can see the car at Mini-Spares showroom in Potters Bar.
