1981 Amazing 92 BHP 1380cc 100 Mph Mini Van SOLD

When a millionaire decided to give his wife a van to walk her dogs...…..

The following no expense spared work occurred.

Engine (more power than a cooper S)

1275 A+ block taken out to 1380cc by MED, centre main strap. Crankshaft balanced, lightened, cross-drilled and heat treated. MED road competition 11 stud cylinder head. Road Sport camshaft with adjustable Vernier setup. MED 1:5:1 ratio roller rockers. Specialised components 5 port fuel injection system with programable ECU located under the passenger dash. High capacity water pump. Billet aluminium thermostat housing. 2 core supercool aluminium radiator with an electric fan. Maniflow LCB and upswept dual silencer. 70A Alternator. High capacity fuel pump.
The injection was set up by Slark Engineering and the engine produced 92bhp at 6000rpm at 100mph on their rolling road (print out on file). June 2019. Therefore, with the van weighing 602 kg the power to weight ratio = 153 (for comparison a Ford Focus ST is about 143).
