Radford Mini Miglia info





I'm impressed with the Radford Mini Miglia.
For my curiousity, anyone have information about the engine modification on Radford Mini Miglia?
I heard that they use some of the Alta products. But any internal mod: bore/stroke, pistons, etc.
The whole package w/ 265 bhp is pretty impressive for the daily driven Mini. Pricey but cool.
Kindly advise.
Thank you.

the engine kits come form either BBR or minispeed in the UK^^ above has the mini speed 265 kit on it i dont know of many folk on the uk who have mini speed stuff on the new mini most seem to opt for GTT or BBR or west for high end work but the rest of the bespoke work on the car is all Radford coachworks doing but engine wise any good tuner in the USA can do better for less as a lot of the minispeed conversion is ALTA based

minispeed 265 kit linky

Thanks for the information. I really like the whole package. It definitely looks good, at least for me.

Everything looks good as a package, except for the price..
Like you say, we might be able to make it cheaper here in US.
I like the balance of engine performance, handling, stopping power and looks.
Not too extreme, looks good and lots of fun, I believe.
I wish I could have that kind of money.

At $2.00 USD per pound that's $70.000. = stupid money
You can do better in the States

Hmmm... I have to agree with both of you.

BTW, if we want to clone the Mini, what kind of budget we're looking at.

Total Drivetrain, suspension and brake transformation, interior, exterior, sound system, wheels, etc.
