found here http://www.prolex-uk.com specialist lexus tuners, but Lysholm distributor by the sounds of it, and as far as i can see from blurb on google, Lysholm merged with Opcon in 2004 so there may be a cross-over in product lines??

The Mini Opcon Autorotor kit used to be available in this country from Mini Spares, Mini Speed and Moss. Try calling them as there may be stock left. Mini Spares always had it the cheapest and had both the small and large bore versions while the others only had the large bore. Moss however might offer the best chance of getting a kit as they still sell them for other marques (MGs and Triumphs). The kits used to be about £1100.00 which is why they became less popular once the cheaper BMW Cooper S charger conversion had been perfected. A great shame because not only was the Roots type blower the kit included more efficient than the Eaton design used in the MINI it was also a far neater installation and used a blower actually designed to match the capacity of the engine.
