Looks like they're no longer in business.

With so many parts suppliers disappearing in recent years it's good to see they're still in business.

Hi Guys not been on here in a long time just to say...Retro Minis are very much in business, the Ltd company went a few years ago as BMW in their nasty days would not allow us to produce the Mini as a (virtually) new car...

 We still supply parts and are now concentrating more on restoration (just done a Speedwell themed '66 S currently doing a '72 van, 1960 Monte spec and and another 66 S in the pipeline) also rebuild and tune engines and gearboxes etc. plus Modifying and rebuilding SU carbs. The last engine done was a 1107cc hybrid with a 940 head DV modifed HIF38 and it ran 81 BHP on the rolling road. A Canadian racer gained 2.3 seconds per lap with a pair of modified HS6 carbs. They have also been done for TR3's and a Mk1 Lola racer (twin H4's).

Yes buying a dremel may be cheaper, but you will need a lot more than a dremel to do the job effectively, know-how, and capability being 2 of them...Fast and reliable is never cheap.
