    It is Rose Taupe and has a turbo charged 16 valve Fiat engine (based on 131 block with Thema/Integrale type cylinder head, & over 400 bhp). Suspension is 5 linked rear with coil over shocks, front suspension is Ford Cortina uprights with double wishbones. It also has fibre glass doors, bonnet and all four wings to reduce weight. HTH

    I've never really liked Morris Minors. But, I do kinda like that grease era idea of the 50s sort of style mixed with tyre shreddding bad attitude. I'm sat watching this thinking that a car modelled now like this with fire breathing performance would in fact sell well. That car by the way, with the arches and mods, and the sound is something special. Nice work to those who put the hours and kit in!

    When I got married in 1973 I don't have a car yet. My late father in law let me use his Morris Minor for a whlie before I bought my 1st car i.e.Fiat 124 S.

    Often wonder why BMC, British Leyland ever stopped making these. Sales would have fluctuated, but never the less they would still be selling, and they would have morphed into a really great car over the years.
