info and pics on the mini? looks rather tucked away.

LMs look great, btw.

 

It's a true 66 mini (original plates) with a swifttune engine. It was imported from the UK racing circuit (had an article about it) and then repainted orange. Been sitting for a few years now. It's the next project and then will prob be up for sale.

very cool. if you've driven one, you know what the experience is like. like a big, tall go-kart.

had a RHD 1275GT Clubman years back. wife got it in the divorce and then decided to sell. needed work, but was a solid driver. cool car.

 

sorry to hear about you losing it... but yes, these are street-legal go karts! I had another one (1988 1275cc) that I sold shortly before covid with Tx plates "Go K8rt"

LMs look great! Can you share the offset in the rear?

 

Thanks. the rears are BBS LM277 which is 18x11 +56. In the picture, I am running 25mm bolt on spacers so it comes out to be +31

Is this the silver coated ceramic version? Looks great!

 

No coating. I think they just paint them grey/silver.

 

Ah gotcha. Does anyone have thoughts on coating versus no-coating?

 

Did you pour olive oil all over the car before taking these picture? The paint looks unreal and amazing.

 

FISTER short shift and golden rod and I found some vintage Omega chronographs and I could not resist

 

What would happen in the unlikely event the passenger airbag were to deploy?

 

I would hope the stop watches survive
