[@kaiying74]

You had me at Classic Mini. My first car was a 1972 Mini Clubman.

[@gavinivers8941]

Happy days ...

[@jamieh5358]

1974 998CC Mini in purest mustard colour 😂

[@jamesalexander1721]

Cannot wait for the next one!

Another Awesome Video Alex, I race a Hyundai Excel (might have to look it up) in Australia, through ur videos I’ve really developed a love of all things classic motorsport! Love it keep it up and if you’re ever in Australia come show me how to drive my race car properly 🏎️

[@Project-Air]

Can't wait for the next part of this one, Alex!

[@samuelgarrod8327]

I don't very often giggle while by myself but I did watching this. Great stuff 👍

[@corentinm1121]

Great video 👌 More focus and rebuild details on the car please!

[@BillyKraut]

awesome video, loved it!

[@PepinCar]

again a awsome video!

[@sokaledc-pj5du]

Looks great

[@charliecooper007]

The best race car there is 😜

[@xXExtremeGameXx]

Great video Alex, although the build might take a while if your helping!!!

[@BrundleBTW]

Hahahaha they are flat out in the background so two steps forward. One back:

[@biasbilt]

The seat to steering wheel position look like a go kart, especially from the goodwood in car video

[@dragon_of_okotoks1118]

wooo

[@ChrisandHeathervanlife]

I assume the regulations allow you to use the later remote gear linkage rather than the mk1 pudding stick.

[@BrundleBTW]

@@ChrisandHeathervanlife it’s a 4 speed dog box as well. So all racing internals. The original gearboxes are just incapable of racing speed

[@ianbrown9082]

Is that a complete new shell?

[@BrundleBTW]

Recovered shell

[@andrewnewnes7831]

I wondered what happened to the banners from Goodwood...now i know..

[@BrundleBTW]

Haha rumbled

[@The_BenboBaggins]

I wish I never sold my '81 998 Mini City - I need to win the lottery now to get another! 😢

[@markgadsby5568]

You need £10k for a decent one as I’m finding out

[@bradvermont9242]

Pull it all back out to paint the shell now?

[@BrundleBTW]

Yes, had to make sure we didn’t have to put any more holes in

[@lunarweasel]

I know it’s dreadfully cheesy, but any chance of a Mr Bean livery/style? :)

[@BrundleBTW]

Hahaha no!

[@lunarweasel]

@@BrundleBTW Thanks for the reply. best of luck with the Mini. I’m glad to see your affection for hardtop Mustangs vs fastbacks. :) I have a 65 V8 with a four speed. A glorious beast. :)

[@BrundleBTW]

@@lunarweasel our notchback is wild on track. A real beast
