Mini Pics, movies, Lots of both!

Black Beast

 

Lifted from MiniMan History :

"The first beast being the “Black Beauty”, an all Alloy P76 4.4litre V8 east-west, front wheel drive Sports sedan Mini. I’d been building it for a few years & was originally John Lungren`s & then the Swinton bros bought it & I bought it off them as a modified bare shell."
