Rotel Mini-Porsche
"Perhaps the most extreme Mini-based racing car ever made was this tubular-framed ‘silhouette’ Super Saloon built at the behest of Tore Helle’s ambitious Rotel equipe. That said, there wasn’t much actual Mini within. The car was mapped out by prolific pen-for-hire Len Terry. With a CV that included the Indy 500-conquering Lotus 38, not to mention the sublime Eagle-Weslake Grand Prix car, this was an oddball project, to put it mildly.
Helle had previously commissioned Terry to design the Viking Formula Three car, before changing tack and asking him to draw a spaceframe chassis for a Mini packing – cue disbelief – a Porsche 935 flat-six engine sited amidships. The car appeared in early 1978 and was raced sporadically in Sweden into 1979, mostly with young charger Conny Ljungfeldt at the wheel. Its subsequent fate remains a mystery, however."
