V8 Engine powered Classic Mini. Not quite what Sir Alec Issigonis intended!.

            This is an interesting conversion, a mid engined V8 powered Classic Mini. During the development of the Mini way back in the 1950s, early prototypes used a 948cc engine. The powers that be thought it to powerful, so the engine size was reduced to 848cc. A 3.1/2 Litre Buick Skylark V8, redeveloped by Rover for the P5B & P6 range etc was not quite what dear old Sir Alec had in mind. Full credit to the creator of this conversion, there has been a lot of thought and hours of toil gone into it. P/S It's rear wheel drive..
