Charlie - Mini Mk3

[Jared Mk3]

Rocker cover and dipstick look sweet Jay, in terms of engine colour my personal thoughts are that if it's the original 998cc from the mk3 I'd paint it the original black. I see you've got a Cooper box on the motor as well, are there any other upgrades that have been done to the motor? I think your Motortune Rocker cover will make a seriously good impression while the bonnet is open at shows.

Cheers

Original engine colour on these would have been a pinkish-red colour. I can still see remnants of it under the flaking red. This unusual colour denoted SA made motors at the time. The remote gearbox is standard for these motors, which is nice. They also had a unique gearset compared to all the other cars - to compensate for the extra weight. In terms of mods, there's nothing. The major thing with this motor is that it has less than 20000miles on it, so pulls really well.
