    1971 Mini Clubman Estate is powered by a 1.6-liter Honda four-cylinder engine from a fourth-generation Civic ED7.

    Us nerds sitting at the back all agree that if it really was a 1971 Mini Clubman Estate, it would have a flat bonnet/hood over a square grille:

    which would probably help no end when shoe-horning a Honda VTEC in there.

    So this is actually a traditional Mini, either a Traveller estate or a Minivan - maybe this is the infamous Ring Mini?

    Very nice, rare to have that type of no/low traffic on the ring. :)

    Sure wish he had some on-board to go with the video, it would have been interesting to see some of his top speed runs up to some of the drifters. :Thumbsup:

    Appears to be a very flat suspension, no drama/no lean. Wow!
