[QUOTE="Topper, post: 921611, member: 186250"] Mine was a green Morris Mini in 1971, with hydrolastic suspension. I renewed the rear subframe and I sprayed the car metallic light blue, I was not happy with the performance so I mated an MG1100 engine block to the 850 gearbox with an MG 1300 clutch. I revamped the carb with a blue needle and spring. 0 to 60 I could do a standing start and beat a TR6 any day (and often did) but top speed was 66 MPH. The torque was incredible again no pics. edit Forgot to say front tyres only lasted about one year [/QUOTE]
