Lou, your new signature pic reminds me how much I love that blue four-door.
I don't know what engine it's got but it looks just like the ideal modified minor I pictured! :-? :D

It's got a 1098! heated inlet manifold exhaust and k & n air filter anti roll bar and rostyle wheels but goes like smoke! We built it for our son but as he's left home (no room at his place) I use it now. We've got another trafalgar blue one but that's Jon's :wink:

for me it would have to be a standard looking 2 door, that goes like hell, handles, stops well and has an a series under the bonnet.

but I do have a hankering for a 2 door that is as above with the exception of a modern turbo engine making really silly power.

Well for me it would be a 2 door saloon but it would need to have had a period 1960's conversion but as for which one that's the hard bit so has anyone got one converted by Alexander, Derrington, Downton, Speedwell ect so I could do some comparison drives :D

I know this is wishful thinking but if you dont ask..............

2 door saloon, late 60's early 70's. Black or Trafalgar Blue, lowered, 15" steelies (usual Minor style just wider), Zetec power (250hp), uprated chassis, suspension, brakes, completely standard look, completely restored.

Alternatively a lowlight conversion in black, with black 17's, V8 or some sort, carbon bonnet and boot, de-seamed, very lowered, black and chrome everything.

Now just gotta find some money...

I'm quite happy with my 1275cc 2 door to be honest :)

However, if I won the lottery, then the green V8 Minor as seen in the link below would be in my ownership very quickly! (As well as my current one you understand...)

Mine would have to be the crew cab Minor which I think is based on the Isle Of Wite.
