Cannon
wanted to open their new cinema in Southampton in classic style,
how better than with "The Italian Job" and the three minis.
Gareth
talks to John Cooper on how he masterminded the building of the
three minis from 1987 to 1989 with help in the final month nearing
completion from his brothers David, Daryl, Antony and friends.
A few
months after the completion of the minis David thought it would
be a good idea to fit a modified A Series Turbo engine producing over 180bhp Gareth had built in 1986 for
his Metro Turbo he had previously owned and custom painted but sold the car before getting round to fitting it.
This
was not to be missed by any avid mini fan. The wide screen version
with added film footage is a real treat, John
Cooper himself also made an appearance what a great day for all the
icing on the cake !
David
first set about modifying the Red minis bulkhead for turbo clearance
and the machining of a bespoke inlet manifold to take the Renault
5 carburetor as Gareth had concluded this would be a far better fuel
delivery setup than the inadequate SU carburetor which it turned
out to be on the track and road, the problem was finding a clutch
to handle the 155+ bhp at the wheels.
