Revisiting an old video, here’s a classic Austin Mini powered by a modern Honda Vtec engine lapping the Nurburgring Nordschleiffe anti-clockwise. After poking and prodding the web, I found out that the car is actually powered by a B16 engine that powers the front wheels but that can’t be confirmed. What can be confirmed is that the car was used in various rallying events. Enjoy.
