Greetings and Salutations!
Posted: Tue May 17, 2011 6:02 pmHi Guys and Girls 
I am a Mini and Midas enthusiast from Ipswich and have finally been given the go ahead by Mrs Bounce for a project car.
I am on the lookout for a Midas Mk2 (or Mk1 for that matter) as an ongoing concern. It doesn't matter if it's running or not as I intend to strip it down and get stuck in anyway. The plan (maybe, if funds allow!) is to fit it with fuel injection and an aftermarket ECU such as Canems or Emerald and do away with the carb and that pesky distributor!
I have not had a Mini (or a garage) for a fair few years but I thought I would include a pic of my old Mini, a 1985 Mayfair which I sold in 2004 - it had a 1303cc lump (+30 thou - an odd size I know!) with Kent 266cam, MED Road/Comp head and full Manifolw system. S discs, half leather interior, central locking and handmade dashboard. I miss that car!
If anyone knows of a Midas Mk1 or 2 project (Must have the V5 docs so no SVA required!) for up to £400 I would be most grateful if you could drop me a line!
