Great car but the arches do look a bit naff. Theyve been trimmed up to the minimum for weight. Where have the McNally's gone though? Is that a replica?

I seriously doubt it!

Not my cup of tea, the Britax car to the right tho, now your talking!

BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races!

Weber IDA down draught carb.

The arches look like the old Cosmic aluminium arches, with the fronts positioned right back. I had a set I bought from Racespaec on my second mini.

It think it must be a rep, I think Vizzard admitted that the old car didnt survive a crash he had.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Just remembered to have a look in the tuning the mini book. His car was de-seamed and had a flip front with some rather basic looking catches. The arches were also blended to the body.

If its 'the car' then its a re-shell at the very least.

Its a replica. Viz the wiz told me he smashed the real one up in the 70s

Oh those wheels are lush. I want some

I seriously doubt it!

what wheels are they?

McNally engineering 10"'s

can you get them any more?
or are they ubber rare?

Yeah, very rare! There was a set at Bingley for sale which were around £600 for 4 bare rims.

I do have a pair here too, incase anyone knows of another pair for sale!

what width are they?

5.5" and 7.5", I'm not sure what width the ones in the picture are though

*I also have a set of wellers that are a similar style but 6" wide. I mean similar in that they have a similar dish and are solid faced*

how many horses does it kick out?

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

That car is a replica, I believe the owner has been in contact with Vizard to get some of the details correct, I'm sure there is a topic about it on one of the forums. The real car was scrapped. The arches on the replica look like cut down cosmic arches to me.

Found it.
