Castle Combe Mini World Action Day in our latest car.
This car was only finished 2 hours previous after working all night, it was on new brakes so not pushing to hard. Gearing turned out to be too low and has been raised 3 times since, the geometry was miles out and engine was running lean!
Specification:-
Steel shell with full spaceframe. Rear bulkhead, and companion bins removed
Zero trim, plexigalss all round except windscreen, Kirky race seats, carbon bonnet, and bumpers. skinned doors, and boot lid, hence the noise!
Modified Ka flocked dash
Injected 5PW R1 engine, adjustable fuel regulator, Dynajet power commander
Quaife ATB
Castle Combe 2004 Mini World Action Day in our first prototype.
This car was fully trimmed with rollcage and only had a tired R1 running on carbs. The gearing was too low and was on the limiter in 6th at around 105 mph As you can see it was pretty impressive!

Martin Cull's cabriolet
Martin was one of our first customers, his impressive cabriolet drives superb and is very quiet on the road. A totally different experience to our stripped out racer.
These are his videos he took during the build.
