I always set to the following:
Front: 1 to 1.5 deg neg camber
2.75 to 3.5 degs castor
0 to 1/16" toe out
Rear: 1/16" to 1/8" toe-in
0 to 0.5 degs neg camber
Ride height: Standard

Forgive my ignorance but I'm assuming the castor setting is positive? Also, the front and rear toe, is that per side or overall? Cheers.

Yes, castor is always positive.
Toe is always across the wheels so is a total reading overall.
Those figures will be ideal for a 'not quite so slow' road Mini.

And standard ride-height? I remember when I looked for the factory ride-height figures the official diagram was missing a crucial measurement for working out the actual ride height.

the only measurement that I have seen is for setting the hydro suspension. but the rake can be worked out as it does not matter where the Datum is.
but I have to ask why? and what year car?

It's a '98 JDM Cooper running 12" x 5" wheels, and having fitted everything adjustable I need to start by getting the ride height correct then move onto the geometry settings as suggested above. I'm sure that changing the ride height later will change the geometry.

Would the Hillclimb setup listed be suitable for the road?
a bit heavy on the steering with all that castor.
