Hi mike yes I'm from a little village in Mansfield called edwinstowe..the Berkeley t60 is my mates, he's a collector of bubble cars and in summer time the t60 is always the choice to ride in ..Stenson was a lock that I'd wanted to visit for some time so me and my grandfather went in his 50ft narrow boat, it was very exciting to say the least..I have a real soft spot for minis there a chap just round the corner from me who has one on his drive and it's been there for a good few years he's adamant it's running a b16a vtec engine but won't lift the bonnet to proveTopaz wrote:Hi Mark - nice car and well done with the MOT - I like the idea of just putting it in for the test to see what's wrong
At a guess you must be based in the East Midlands - I saw your videos of Stenson Lock and the Berkeley T60 in Mansfield. My son has a 1979 Mini and we took that to Peter Burgess in Alfreton for a session on the rolling road - spent some time making various changes with the end result that it just ran better and was more responsive. No great boost to the horsepower as it's just a bog standard 998cc with no modifications what so ever but Steve was pleased with it - cost me £70 for a couple of hours work two years ago.
