 Completely rebuilt from the ground up, this Minor runs a Rover 'K-Series' twincam 1800cc engine from a 1996 MG-F Roadster driving through a Ford Sierra 5-spd box, limited slip diff and MkII Escort axle.  Front suspension features custom lower wishbones, coil-over gas shocks and Sierra vented discs.  Rear suspension is by stiffened leaf springs and adjustable gas shocks. The axle is located by trailing arms and panhard rod. The engine has 45mm Jenvey throttle bodies, Piper high-lift cams and vernier camhaft pulleys. It puts out a dynoed 162bhp.     I have driven this car to 130MPH (210kph) and does low 15s at the strip. Full buildup details and more pics can be seen at my website, Minor Mania (www.minormania.com) |

Nicely chosen wheels, if someone in the street stopped me to say "Do you think 205 GTI rims would look good on a Traveller?" I'd probably lauugh in their face, but I'd have been wrong cos they look excellent - I like this a lot.
