MK2 Scamp wheelbase
Turbo Mini Forums

Random question, does any body know the standard wheelbase for the Mk2 scamp. I have a 8ft length bed trailer that I use for my minis. I'm picking up one up and need to make sure it's going to fit. I can't find any info on the net.

Looks like its 80", website may help with other measurements

Went on forum / technical and did a search for scamp wheelbase

What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve
MITP 2012 17.01 seconds 1/4 mile against "The Don"
MITP 2013 16.83 seconds 1/4 mile

Ask alan on here, smokestacklightening he has 2 scamps so should be of some help.

.....and you know what ive never thought about it.....

Will check smokestack when i get home
From memory the standard mk2 frame is meant to be the same wheelbase as a countryman

Thanks,

The owner as told me 94", which I thought was too big. He's just double checked it and confirmed is correct. The overall length is 11ft5". This looks like the longer wheelbase version to me, but he claims it definatly standard.

Either way I'm picking it up on Saturday. Hopefully it will be fully rebuilt and turbo'd with the engine out if my red mini and done by IMM.

Your car is my inspiration. I've been watching your videos on YouTube. Hope mine ends up looking as good as yours.

I'm determined not to spent over £2000, however I already have the engine, box, turbo, wheels, dash, seats, gauges, loom etc

Any advice would be welcomed.

I'm running rubber cones mate , I heard spring replacements are not good with the light weight . I also have 2.5 digress negative camber on the front which made a big difference on back road cornering.
