Its a mini
You have no idea what they can cram under the bonnet of those, you think the elise boys and girls were the first to find out about how small a hole you can put a honda engine in

and all the more pertinent when its a clubby
even wit an old A in it and std suspension, you'll still have a hoot with super sticky rubber on a mini

Second that.
I used to have a mini with an 850 badge on the boot.
However, it also had a 153 hp swiftune engine, jack knight straight cut box, salsbury lsd, massive alloy brakes, and a whole stack of other race bits and bobs under the skin.
The A48's just ment I could smoke the M3's and Evo's around the twisties and not just off the line.
Those were the days

There were a couple of minis on 48s up at KH for the speedfair last summer. They look cool in dinky sizes

Good old Mini Clubman Estate, I passed my test in one of those, back in 1973!! Wish 48s were available then, I could have had a lot more fun.
