It's great - but they are being disingenuous when they say they have done little to the engine - it sounds pretty much 'full race' to me with lots of revs being used. But very nice indeed - I'm jealous!

I bet it would be interesting with a full size steering wheel

I didn't realise you could tune a Morris A-series engine to make it as nippy as that!

That does not sound like a Minor 1st gear. Pity the speedo was not working
I wish I could get my Series MM to sound and go like that!

You can tune an 'A' Series with the right components to give well over 200bhp.
Nice looking car and going well.
A full specification would be nice.
Last time I was at Chateau Impney was to see Geno Washington, Joe Cocker and a host of other soul celebs - and that was many years ago.
I would suggest that the Minor in the link below is possibly the Minor with the most developed 'A' Series engine.
I know this car quite well and some of the parts that were on this car are now fitted to mine.
The original 1400cc Midget block out this Minor is currently sat on a shelf in my workshop and was previous to the 1380cc 'A' Plus currently fitted used in my Minor for speed hill climbing.
