1963 AUSTIN MINI 850CC HISTORIC RALLY CAR For Sale
This Austin Mini has been built from the ground upwards to period 'Downton' specification by top Mini tuner/ maestro Nick Swift of Swiftune. Naturally, when this restoration undertook it was Nick's advice that was sought. A full 'Downton' conversion was carried out, and on completion the engine was dynamometer tested at 67. 5hp @6500rpm – roughly the same output as a stock 1, 275cc Cooper 'S'! Incorporating a competition gearbox and an all-new drive train and brakes, this car is a stunning example of what can be achieved.

Race 33/ 31mm plasma hardened Cylinder head,, with 21-4N stainless steel valves, Bronze valve guides, gas flowed, rally valve springs, steel top caps.

Engine block has been chemically and steam cleaned, bored and honed to 65mm, line bore and new cam bearings fitted, centre main strap.

The rebuild was completed in December 2013, and the car's shakedown event was the demanding Winter RAID St Moritz, at the conclusion of which its all-girl crew came home with the Ladies' Prize having demonstrated an impressive turn of speed on the snow and ice.
This car is ready to use. It comes with a comprehensive history file containing a extensive photographic record of the restoration. Offered with a FIVA passport and full FIA papers (Period E), this wonderful 'Downton' Mini is of proven competitiveness and wants only for a new owner capable of exploiting its full potential.
