"The E.R.A Mini Turbo was conceived as a 1980’s replacement for the Mini Cooper S. A car with all the key characteristics of the Cooper – speed, handling, excitement - but one which would introduce into the concept the refinement and comfort lacking in the original, but so necessary for modern motoring.

E.R.A set out to engineer a car to the highest automotive standards. There would be no compromise on engineering quality. The car should use as many tried and tested standard Austin Rover components as possible. It should minimise the use of special tooling to avoid lengthy testing and uneconomic production batches.

This site is dedicated to the E.R.A Mini Turbo and the owners of such cars."

My dads pal purchased a nearly new one from HR Owen in Walton upon Thames when they 1st came out and I thought it was a great car, quick but refined....so just what's mentioned above.

We used to drive past it when it was at the dealers and marvel at the asking price even then!
