I have driven that car originally several times... Tommy was my best playmate when we were small children. We lived close to each other and in later years I hund around the workshop when it was built. The two brothers and their father were very very meticoulus in their work. Also helped by the fact the eldest brother were traing to become a mechanical engineer.... I drove it to 100mp but Tommy my friend had done over 210k

My father gave the permission for rally in that place...

Every detail is absolutely fantastic.

Good to see the car back "in action" 8-)

Think you first told me about it in the mid 90ies.

Picture from yesterday, what a memorable day, the original owners of this old rally Mini, Tommy and Ole Borring Møller back in the car, for a quick test drive. The brothers developed and raced the car in the period 1977 to approx. 1984. Tommy's 30-year-old son got a drive in the car too. As a child, he used to sit in the car and imagine what it would be like to drive. All his life he has been told the stories of this fast little car, now it was time for him to try. Happy Days.

We took the Mini out this evening for a small rally test, and this time I was faster than my son, he had trouble with handbrake turns, which he had never tried before. In fact, the Mini was the fastest overall, up against BMW E36 with 500hp and MK2 Golf with 250hp VR6 engine. On the last test it ended with some twist and shout. Driveshafts should be old Jack knight.
