Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

[coatesie]

Why is it the car ran in App J in the '90s but can't now? Is it because you've returned it to Group C spec?

Yes the car is back in Group C trim. It could be re-converted to group N specs but it means changing a lot of things, including engine, wheels and slicks, removing all decals and some are painted on. Not complaining at all, love the car this way and looking forward to driving it at Wakefield next month. Still trying to hunt down some pics of Phil's old car though.
It went on to Tim Tritton who then binned it, and converted it into that orange space framed thing that is now on my105 for sale.

Hi Coastie,

Would be great to see you out there mixing with the boys.
I hope to be going down for a look and take some photos, so I will come and say hello if I do.

Thanks

Ian

Couldn't believe it. Spoke to Phil as I have always known his car to be blue with red detailing but he said he painted it black with flames on it just before he sold it......low and behold there is a pic of it in the black on page 2.
