Re: 1275GT 8 port group 2
I am curious too. What happened in the meantime?
Yes I am a nerd: I am researching the Austrian Mini-racing scene of the 60s and 70s

. Hi Nice project,could u tell me where u bought the head???tom17 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:14 pm Hi ,
Here is my project for historic racing , a 1275gt group 2 ( period G2 ) with cooper's engine and weslake 8 port cylinder head.
I made a replica based on the works 8 port clubman YMO 886J ( I know it was initialy build for group 6 but can raced in group 2 with minor modifications )
All parts from the engine are original special tuning.
I use a modified round nose mini to build my GT ( a mk5 body that will be converted to mk3 )
The engine rebuild is in progress.
I will share next steps !
Thanks.Alun
