1962 Tax exempt classic mini K20 RWD vtec type R LSD
300 bhp per tonne/0-60 in 3.8 seconds/Lotus elise alignment geo
This is a serious performance car that has been professionally built costing £30k.
Car is registered as 1962 austin mini which is now tax exempt and able to run on black number plates. It has a full bare metal respray in 2010 in Honda nighthawk black.
The car is road legal and current MOT is valid until October 2016. The V5 is present and HPI clear.
Please dont confuse this with the average builds you see around, no corner has been cut and as well as turning heads, this car has the performance, handling, grip and stopping power that is essential to being able to use it properly.
The car is in excellent condition and turns heads and constantly gets attention questions from public when used. The car can be used on the road and has been set up to be a weapon on track and could be used for sprints/hillclimb although it has only been used for occasional road use and 1 track day
