The V8 Mini Team

Me - Spag, find out more about me at www.spagweb.com & www.magicspanner.co.uk

Scriv - New owner of Doris (as of March 2005). His ongoing story should live at http://v8mini.co.uk/doris.

Damian - Seems normal but is attempting to fit a V8+Princess box combo into a Hillman Imp. This link shows his cars + V8 imps & SD1s. Very little progress over the last few months due to a new sprog thing ;-)

Andy - Slowly collecting parts (and contacts!) for a V8 Clubman. Seems to have evaporated into the ether, or maybe has been kidnapped by aliens needing a new propulsion system.......

Stubbo - Building a V8 Mini in the UK using the transverse Princess box in a mid engine rear wheel drive configuration like Damian's Imp. Visit Stubbo's V8 Mini Website.
