Nic Mann`s Minor

Nic Mann`s Morris Minor was built for hillclimbing and was powered by a single turbo charged, nitrous oxide injected Rover V8 engine. It was fast in a straight line and around the bends. For me this car was the ultimate Minor.

The car was also featured in Auto Car magazine. These articles are scanned. Click on the thumbnail to see the image in full size.

Russ Smith`s and Chris Nash`s Minors

Chris Nash`s Minor appeared in one of the first Street Machine magazines that we bought and it had everything that we were dreaming of at the time, roof chop, body mods. and Rover V8 engine. Later it was updated and looked even better. Sadly this car was scrapped, however a part of it lives on. The car received a tube chassis late on in its life and this now sits under a Pro Street Traveller.
I first met Russ at the Morris Minor Owners Club national rally when I was 17 and was considering putting a Fiat engine into my Minor. I asked him questions all weekend and studied his car and then went home and built my own. We became good friends having many races at the drags with our Minors. I also remember all the help he gave me and try to do the same for people asking me advice.

Rapid Plumbing Co. Hillman Husky Van

This van was way ahead of its time and could have come straight out of America. It was a major influence on Robin when building his pickup. It still looks good today after a few updates. One of my favourite vehicles.

This is the ultimate car which had to have the best of everything. Nothing was compromised. Unfortunately it is too expensive for the majority of us.
