Much-modified Mini

This fierce-looking Mini packed a 2.4 litre, mid-mounted V8 engine in a spaceframe body - the only original Mini bits were the exterior trim. It wiped the floor with the standard A-series engined field of minis. Also driven by Harvey Death, who I think is a Cambridge boy :)

 

This car was built by built by Martin Short of Rollcentre Racing. The Powertec-built V8 engine is actually two Suzuki Hayabusa engines connected together to form a V8, produces around 380bhp.
