I'm not so crazy about the new Minis, but I don't dislike them. The one we had was a '67 Austin Cooper 'S' in British Racing green. That color doesn't photograph well at all. It only looks good in person. It had a 1275cc w/weber side-draft carbuerators (2 of them) , and because it was an 'S', it had the brakes and all. The old mini's sure are neat. They don't have shocks or struts. They ride on rubber cones and they handle better than any hatch I've ever driven. I guess they can get away with it because ours only weighed 1400 lbs and only have 10" wheels. We race-built the motor, and unfortunately, sold it. Sold our '29 Model A. Sold the Pantera. Bought the Cobra. I think it was a fair trade
