Description:

OK, this is a Mini Cooper race car that I am unsure of it's exact year of manufacture. I'm told it is older than it is titled as and that it was a true Cooper. One telltale of that, again I'm told, is the dual gas tank body mounts from the factory. At any rate I have a clear title that matches the VIN tag.
I bought this car a few years back and have just not gotten to it as needed. I have done a number of things but as yet it is not a driver. Too many cars, not enough time.
Originally built by Bob Kimes (Dayton Ohio), raced by a variety of folks through the years. Last raced by Dave Jones about 7 years ago, give or take. Anyone looking at this who knows more about this car please contact me and I'll update the details here. I've heard a number of folks speculate about this car but frankly I don't really know a lot about it.
I do not have a log book.
I'm not certain what engine it has. I've heard 997, 1097 and 1098. Somebody help me out here.
It does crank with compression but I have not had it running. It must have had a single double weber setup as there was a cold air box on the car (I should still have it) for that. But I got dual SUs with it which I mounted up with a little clearancing of the intake and header. The throttle is hooked up but really needs reworked, cable travel is too much at present. Brakes sort of work, clutch hydraulics are currently frozen. The differential is apparently locked as it is a bitch to push it around while turning.
Lights work and most all the wiring seems good and is a professional looking install for the most part. I was fooling with the fuel pump last time around but did not get it pumping. I installed the factory gas tank to use for sorting the car out as the fuel cell I got with it did not fit.
This car has certainly been around the block a few times, plenty of race rash, scrapes and bruises. But it is quite solid with no rot. Some surface rust from my less than stellar storage where the paint is failing in places. Glass is good.
Car came with 3 sets of wheels. Nice set of refinished mini lights (or clones?) with street tires on it presently. Also a set of cool English alloys with old racing slicks, you can see one of these in one of the photos of the car as I got it. These better fill out the flares. There is a third set of factory steel rims with puny tires mounted, good for a roller or such.
Come have a look, car is in Yellow Springs, Ohio 45387. Give me a call, Doug 937 231 01nine3.
Thanks for looking!
