Well done! Great to see it being used in anger and not restored to factory original never to be enjoyed as intended again. :D

The manifold is back on page 5 of this thread. It was homemade by the previous owners

The fly-off handbrake was used a lot yesterday evening. First time out with the rally Mini this year.

The car was built as a Rally car in 1977 by the brothers Tommy and Ole Borring Møller, at their fathers car repair shop in Faxe Ladeplads, Denmark. The brothers used to drive Cooper S´s as their daily drivers, before switching to Golf GTI Mk1´s. Pictures from yesterday, when i picked up the car.
On a slight side note, but I had a crush on a girl from Faxe Ladepads once :lol:

Nice find!
Is the frame alloy, or is it just the skin?

They are genuine ST Doors, the Window frame is steel, the rest is alloy. The door pockets is missing. Without Windows and doorhandle, they are 3.1 kg😝
