Wondering if anyone can help. I'm involved with putting together a stand for May's Beaulieu MotorMart Autojumble. This being the 60th anniversary of the Morris Minor, they're trying to get hold of as many Moggies as possible, and I was hoping that someone here might know the whereabouts of the ex-Nick Mann V8-powered version used for hillclimbing in the late 80s, early 90s.

If anyone's got any info, that would be great!

If anyone will know, the superbly-inventive Beardmore Brothers will: http://www.beardmorebros.co.uk/

If you don't find a direct contact from anyone here, note that I've emailed the brothers before and got a response (several actually, very helpful they are).


Justin (excuse the slightly OT links, but I think the space-frame Moggie is so ingenious, more people should see it!)

Is the James Funnell spec saloon Minor from the late 70s/early 80s still around?

The last time I saw the Nick Mann Moggie V8 was at Barbon. The bloke who owned it then was using it for drag racing - mainly Santa Pod. After his day at Barbon he said he was going to confine his activities to the drag strip!

Thanks for your help, folks. I'll give the Beardmore Bros a shout and let you know how I get on.
