Tripple C: Clive Tricky Clubman Mini?
Anyone recall the above in black & white (I think) CCC?
Can you get those build-up articles from somewhere? I think he did a book too. Graham |

Triple C: Clive Tricky Clubman Mini?
I certainly do remember that car & the features about it in Triple C. The CCC archives are now owned by the publishers of Mini World Magazine, I'm told there are plans to re-release Mini related features. I would advise you to contact Stephen Colbran about that, you should be able to contact him via the Mini World website. Clive did indeed publish a book, which was revised through several editions, I still refer to that book to this day when building a tuned Mini engine, IMO, the man was a legend.

I went to a big Mini Meeting localy the other weekend and saw a few 1275 GT's.
It made me remember Tricky's Mini, red with a chequered bonnet(?) It was a shell/subframe/running gear build i think and some suspension tweeks (neg camber adjusters on the rear arms. etc) Nice clean and simple. Make a good hillclimb car! |

While we are talking about the old mini tuners, I wonder what ever happened to Tony Chammings who designed the original "Hi Lo" suspension. ?
He used to live very near me in the early 70s |

I've no idea, all I know is that when he lived near me he did most of the work in his house or garden shed !
