This Dave Brodie converted Mini caused great excitant on BBC TV Top Gear even though Brodie describes it as ‘docile’
When the BBC Top Gear’s test driver ‘Stig’ drove this Dave Brodie converted 2005 Mini Cooper S he braked at 150mph not sure how much faster the car would go.
It will be sold by H&H Classics at their auction on March 20th at Duxford, Imperial War Museum in Cambridgeshire. It is estimated to sell for £18,000 to £22,000.
The Mini Cooper S is a “docile car if not pushed” says Dave Brodie. It has big ventilated disc brakes and braided fluid hoses, also anti torque steer suspension, F1 Goodyear tyres and has a turbo charger fitted.
The car was sourced by the H&H Classics team in Surrey, John Markey and Chris Marshall from David Brodie its owner. They say: “'The Stig' was very impressed by the Cooper 'S' when testing it. The car was still pulling so strongly at 150mph that he didn’t know when it might end and felt the urge to abandon the car!”
Now some lucky bidder may be able to answer that question about the ultimate top speed when they bid for it successfully at the H&H Sale in Duxford.
