2007 Initial Conversion to a Race Car
After almost 30 years on the road this Mini was then converted by a South West Motor Sports (SWMS) Formula Ford race team in Albuquerque, New Mexico from a street legal road car to a “1972 continuation” vintage race car
The original 998cc engine (38 hp) was modified with a Cooper head, Isky race cam, Mini Spares large core radiator and a Pertronix Flame-Thrower ignition.
Other modifications to the car included:
• front disc brakes
• Superfin alloy rear brake drums
• Hi-Lo adjustable suspension
• Fuel Safe fuel cell
• Safety Devices roll cage
• Sparco race seat
• 5 point race harness
• Lexan polycarbonate side and rear windows
