How about showing us some pics of your mini.
I have a soft spot for the cooper s raceing/rally versions after my father inlaw used to race and rally them in the 70's and 80's.
He used to have a raceing version with crossflow head that had the webbers pokeing out the front of the car, which was a lift of fibreglass nose.
And he still has his factory works rally car that competed in the Acropolis rally in Greece and the Danube rally (I think) in Europe before being exported to Australia for the Southern rally in 1966/67.
Here is a link to see his restored rally car
