This is the highlights of my Janspeed Mini Cooper S car that was used in the famous enthusiast video Janspeed DIY Mini, produced by my company. The car was stripped down to the last nut and bolt. It was designed by their race team along with the legendary David Vizard and then built by Janspeed's race engine builders. Even the body was rebuilt from scratch! The car also featured in a magazine article as one of the fastest ever road Minis! It's a blindingly quick car and will easily embarrass many hot hatches of today. See the details on its website.
JANSPEED DIY MINI Part 2
This is the classic MINI DIY documentary I made in the late 80's to celebrate Mini's 40th birthday. It became a collectible video in its day and probably the ultimate guide to what can be done to classic Minis by the people who really know. Janspeed were at the start of the development of the Mini Coopers and Cooper S's and became one of the most celebrated, successful tuning companies for race Minis, winning shelf full's of trophies.
The original video was an hour long so it has been divided here into four parts so please see the others in the series.
Enjoy the video and I hope it gives you some insight into what is possible and give you some ideas as to what you might do with your own classic Mini!
