We were beaten by 3. Jag E-type; 2. MGB, and 1. Morris Minor The editors couldn't understand it either! They were sure the Mini would come in 1st or 2nd!
No accounting for taste, then! :grin:

its all mini underneath!....just none of the rust!
its called a mini jem, they were a fibreglass shell you could buy to convert your rusty mini, from the mid 60's up until the mid 70's.
mine has a 1293 engine from m.e.d., 276 cam 1.5:1 rockers, single hif 44 su carb. the gearbox has a 2.9 diff for relaxed cruising, but it still goes well as its quite light.

ooo sweet Jem I used to have a MkIV Marcos but I was too young and inexperienced to finish the project. I'll get another one day when I'm rich.

they aren't dear, you can pick a marcos up for about £1000-£1500,might need a little tlc, but even the good ones are only about £5000.
