Target mini are very good, great lads and they did a tidy job converting my sportspack to coil springs. Look them up, they wont be far from you.

Steve moon used to run minispares in pontarddulais, they had a workshop, body shop and parts shop, dunno if he still does though, havent seen him in ages!
There's a rolling road or engine dyno or both in the Met uni, think only motorsport students get to use it tho unfortunately, worth an ask tho.
I live right by there, always hear bike engines screamin, don't mind usually but not so good when tryin to kip after a nightshift!

I believe they sold it all on to someone else called Jamie?

South Wales Mini Club is worth getting in touch with, as their always very friendly and will help any real Mini owners out.

Nah, havent seen that? Mines metallic blue but parked at my folks at the mo. I live in the old hospital just up from the uni. Theres a fairly tidy looking yellow clubman saloon that parks right outside the motorsport section though, got rover 12" minilights on it. I'll have to keep an eye out for yours, What engine you got in it?
