I was referring to standard mini saloons, converted this way for race
track in the '60s.
There was also a modified version of the Mini Moke - which was the
miniature Army- Jeep type vehicle Frank is mentioning - It was fitted
with twin engines etc for off road work. Actually went into
production for the British Army as an ATV for parachute drops. At my
first job I worked in Forestry and we had one there, but it was too
much of a toy for anything other than carrying a couple of people to
difficult sites.
