SHED RACING - Mini MANIA:-

Ivan was a guest of Motor Spirit at Bicester Heritage for the Mini Scramble.

He took his 1959 Mini and had his prototype engines there on a stand.

He shared his wisdom with an enthusiastic audience and also admired many other Minis on display.

Ivan and John have made massive progress on the 1959 Mini. This video focuses on the engine work and implementing the appropriate modifications.

Plus SHED fan, Brian visits the Shed with a NOS Speedwell head.

SHED RACING - 1959 Mini: Update 6:-
"In this video Ivan and John demonstrate how to use a lathe to clean a fuel tank, plus Ivan  gives a lesson on how to spruce up the interior of an old car.
They've had a few great bits from our Shed Racing followers, some toggle extensions from Clive, some manifolds from Robert plus a fun picture from Keith. The wiring loom is finally in and we're closer to getting it on the road."

SHED RACING - Old Boy Racer Mini Test Drive.
"Sad news, the shed cat passed away.
Ivan has made some good progress and has been waiting for some decent weather to get the car up the road.
He did a few more tweaks to get the carbs set up and fitted a Ferrari silencer because he had one kicking around. He also demonstrated his agility and cameraman skills under the Mini.
Then what you’ve all been waiting for - the test drive !"
