My late Mother owned one of these, 'T' reg, in two-tone yellow and white and I think hers was an 1100. Handled just like a go cart on rubber suspension. I had a Bedford HA van that was changed from 40bhp to 60bhp with the addition of a Viva HC engine from a car that my mate rolled. Got a library book about cylinder heads and got a spare and learned how to grind out the ports, match gaskets and hand grind valves. Happy days! Much more fun that an OBDII port! Smashing video, Al. Brings back so many fun memories.

Thank you so much for this video. As a kid from age 14 i used to work minis and try and repair them. Mostly i got it wrong, i had a library haynes manual that i got fined for never returning and my grandads old tools. I did learn by mistake all the time, but owning fixing and driving them remains one of my favourite car memories. Not been in or worked on a mini since rolling my last one some 20 years ago now. I miss them, so brilliant, funny and thoughtful content as yours is wonderful. Thank you, of all the channels i subscribe to. Yours is the one i click for straight away.

This is a trip down memory lane, some interesting mods on that mini such as the lcb (long centre branch manifold), looks like it's got later 12 inch wheels, the first carb you fitted looked like 1,3/4 or 2" HS4 (seen as an alternative to twin carbs) as opposed to iirc the HIF fitted normally, engine sounds pretty good and should be fine on the lcb and standard carb (always seemed to me the lcb let the engine rev more readily and sounded a bit more "rorty" as well).

Loved this one Al😅 My first car was an 850 mini. Still remember the reg BFX897B ! Spent seemingly more time under the bonnet than driving it. I learned a lot, and a basic set of AF combination spanners and a slot head screwdriver and a set of mole grips together with my mates ballpein hammer got most things done. Swapped the 850 for an MG 1100 engine, went very quickly to 60, but died of piston failure soon after😟Happy days
