Austin Mini V-Tec rear engine

[geetee66]

I first saw one of these earlier this year and had to build a model of it.

I made the roll cage, battery, fuel cell, exhaust, rear quarter windows, washer bottle, fan and radiator.

Aftermarket parts were; Detail Master 5-point harnesses, 13" aluminium wheels from Scaleproductions.de, resin Honda B-18 V-Tec engine from Studio 81, resin louvres from Arcer fine transfers, aluminium extinguisher, braided hose and fittings, and a decal on the roof.

I hope you like it

Very nicely done and awesome detail work!

Unfortunately, I´m over 6 feet tall, so I just won´t fit into a real one, but I guess taking a ride in such a pocket rocket would be fun!

I enjoy looking at all of the detail work on the interior and chassis. Almost a shame it has to hide under the body. I would love to see the 1:1 inspiration for this build.

That is way cool, and you even got the same color.

Love it!

Very well engineered Mini. I have seen a couple 1/1 V-Tecs in front but never in the rear.

I love it! That's one way to get around having to stretch the nose for a Honda swap.
