1988 1380cc Race Hillclimb Classic Mini, DCOE, S/Cut Dog Box, Megajolt.

Gauging interest in the sale of my beloved mini due to lack of use & now built looking at another project. a 1380cc race tuned mini. which i've owned on and off for approximately 13 years. rebuilt over a period of a year in 2011-12 & also competed in two local Class 'C1' hillclimbs in 2012.
Specs of the car are:

Plated closing panels for rear parcel shelf. Polycarb rear windows. Fibreglass bonnet. Cobra Monaco 'S' seats with 6 point harnesses. Interior stripped. Removable bootlid.
Engine: 1380cc. Omega pistons. race head. 35/29 valves  (originally ground by Withy Race Engineering. Bromsgrove). tufrided. x-drilled. wedged crank (on std/std grind).  VP8C cam. belt drive.

Engine was rolling roaded a few years ago and produced (on a distributor set-up) 134bhp at the flywheel. at Hi-Tec rolling road in West Mids. Engine was completely rebuilt along with the shell in '11. new bearings/rings/oil pump/gaskets.  The ignition map has been set-up on the road and the car pulls as well as ever. no smoke.  The car is always kept garaged and dry.
I have spent great time and money in rebuilding the car to it's current state. therefore I'd like to see it go to a good home. to someone with keen interest in mini's or hillclimbing/sprints. perhaps with a view continue to use as a street car. or complete the conversion to a full hillclimb motor. I'm in no hurry to sell.
