Autograss

[Symon27]

Got a phone call off my uncle asking if i could go up and help with his autograss cars as he has hurt his wrist.
So we go up and make a week of it.
There are cars everywhere up there, some fine other beaten.
His two kids race class 1 auto grass.

Loads of interesting old vehicles there, and some good projects too!

I like TR7's
But those spare Mini's really should be somewhere clean and dry, and ideally sold on to someone that wants a Mini resto project. Hanging on to old non runner's that would be worth something if well restored is not the best plan IMO!

Shame about those minis being used in Autograss, they look like they could easily be put back on the road.

My cousin does a lot of Autograss stuff based in Cumbria. His daughter is pretty good too and competes nationally too.

He will go to track days so he can buy other people track bikes so he can get the engines and a few other parts and then flogs the other bits.

It does look like great fun, from what i've seen of it.

nice, the guys down the road from work do grassing, he is the usual scrap metal dealer
his lads and daughter do very well usually and are now running a twin motor fiat cinquecento alongside a twin motor mini. madness really he chopped up a 1 owner 8k miles clubman for his daughters class 1 car .
I have been to help them set up the suspension a few times when they have bent them all out of shape.

I thought this thread was about a Chinese car window replacement company. Was pleasantly surprised by the actual content...

Any rust free road going Mini that runs is worth £2k though now! Or at least that's what you need to pay. You won't get a really good shell that needs no work at all for under £1k.

Mini stuff is crazy prices now as they get fewer around.

I think a lot of those (spare) Mini's would be able to be put back on the road, and as I said there is Value in decent Mini's now whatever the engine size and spec!
