You can buy both of these new, but if you get a 2nd hand one, try and get it with a V5 that states Minus or Marcos on it. That way you wont have any issues with MOTing it or have to go through IVA.

What you really want though is a Midas Mk1, the best mini based kit car there is lol :thumbsup:
Mk'2 still look good, but have both Mini and Metro parts in them, whereas the majority of mk1's are Mini based :thumbsup:

May be worth contacting Minisprint if it's a minus you want. He had a new shell on ebay that I don't think sold. Also had a v5 for a minus to go with it.

I'll second that. Awesome motors but crying out for more power than an A-series can deliver. One of the guys in the owners club has one that has a V-Tec and runs quarters in a shade over 11 seconds with air under both front wheels on leaving the line (and he uses it as a regular daily driver).

I will be selling one in the new year but it'll be a few months off. It is correctly registered but it's completely dismantled and there are bits missing but I don't think there is anything GTM missing - just some of the Mini parts.
