Skin, icons and bik by The Boxman ([url]http://boxmanmods.blogspot.com/[/url])This car competed in the 1967 Le Mans 24-hour endurance race, and was clocked at over 140mph on the Mulsanne straight. Unfortunately it failed to endure for very long owing to a broken oil pump that put paid to its hopes of repeating the 1966 epic. The modification to the windscreen angle was made after the French scrutineers had tried to exclude the car on the grounds that the windscreen was too low. They little thought that the team would modify the bodywork overnight. Subsequently the car raced in the 9-hour race at Kyalami in South Africa and was sold after the event. It was one of a handful of Mk. III Mini Marcoses to be built with a more streamlined front end and spats over the rear wheels. The Le Mans car has been restored over a long period by its present owner in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.V1.01: Created icons with real photos, since no one uses biks anymore. IF YOU DOWNLOADED THE LAST VERSION I SUGGEST YOU DELETE IT FIRST BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ONE.
