here is the other car "Ogle"

 

What is "Ogle" anyway? Pretty cool looking machine.

 

Ogle looks and sounds like a muppet...I love that car!

 

you can do a wikapidia search for Ogle and get the details....there were only a handfull manufacture (somewhere around 40 or 50) and this is #37 of the run of builds.....pretty much a mini under the bonnet this one has a 998 with some work done

 

Awesome! I can't wait to get another Mini!

 

sounds beastly...

 

it was....lol....the bottom end needs to be rebuilt, so it's not really pratical for driving right now....but he wanted to wait to do that job

 

Looks sweet! What size motor is he running?

 

he has a 998 in it.....not sure what is done to it.....gonna start to take it apart this weekend

 

just got some history of the race mini from the owner, and i though you guys would find it interesting so im sharring it with ya....i thought it was cool

 

Very cool. Nice heritage on the race mini.

 

Hi..Bignorm

the 2 minis's above are 2 different makes black/white pic is an Austin Cooper S..... and colour pic is a Morris Cooper, so I hope that the latter mini is not a fake, do they have orignal paper work.

 

he has a paper trail on this mini a mile long

 

that is SWEET


Those works cooper s are SUPER rare.

 

They are two different cars. GRX 309D is owned by Tony Arnold

Picture taken 2005

BUT the Morris Cooper you worked on is a sweet ride,
but not the works Mini in the B&W pic. Nice restoration Tony!

 

Since this race car is the last incarnation of GRX 309D it should be allowed to wear the registration number. The UK car ,IF it is the Abingdon rally car, should also have a good strong paper trail, however unlike the race car above most of them don't as they were actually scrapped and broken. Makes you wonder how all these cars ended up with works registrations in the first place ! ?

 

It appears the car wearing the GRX 309D registration number in England was first registered in 1995.... http://mcr.mywowbb.com/forum4/2847.html
