I suppose that optimally I'd like it to look like one of the winner cars from the monte carlo rally (here's a picture of a nice-looking replica: http://i.imgur.com/rjjHzjC.jpg ) It seems that all the monte carlo winners are mk 1 cars, so I suppose that'd be that'd be the best base?
@minimad, these are exactly the kind of documents I'm looking for, as without those I really don't know what I'd need to change to go from mini mk 1 850/1000 to mini cooper mk1 monte carlo style Obvously there's a lot of cosmetic changes on the above picture aswell, like the fog lights, stickers, roof racks etc. These though kinda fall second priority to actually getting the car road legal :). I haven't decided on wheel type/size at all, but I suppose if the goal was to make it look like the rally winners, I'd use the same as they did then
Mmmm, LBL6D is one of my favourite cars ever but that one's a replica I reckon; 12'' wheels?
Anyway, I'm sure we can get this documentation. The Cooper Register should have the spec. sheet for original Cooper S' & I'm sure someone who does Historic Rallying in a Mk1 Cooper S will have similar documentation for the Rally cars as I'm pretty sure they have to adhere to original specifications
