Mike Bennion Morris Minor V8/Restored (Merged)
OK all you UK Supersaloon enthusiasts. Can you help out with info on this car? A photo of it was sent into New Zealand Classic Car mag, enquirying about its fate.
Its a low light Morris Minor, built and raced by Mike Bennion and fitted with a small block Ford V8. Had Jag gearbox, double wishbone suspension, and was semi spaceframed. The exhausts exited out the sides of the bonnet. The cutting is from Marcus Pye's Club Legends, and it says the car ended up being shipped to New Zealand. There was a V8 Minor which raced here, but it wasn't that one. The NZ one was actually a Morris Minor body mounted on a shortened Ferrari GP Super Squalo chassis. Does anyone know anything about the Bennion car, and what may have happened to it? |
