I loved watching these cars racing at Mosport back in the 60's.

My favourite thing about Goodwood is Nick Swift and the Minis’ Wilo3 and the Patrick Motorsport mini are my dream cars 😊

The Minis versus the American barges at Goodwood is probably the best spectacle in motorsport.

Nick Swift summed up; Been there, got the T shirt, made the T shirt fashionable again. Genuinely nice chap.

It was great to hear the story of Swiftune, a modern mini tuning firm. Back in my mini racing days such firms didn't exist, it was all DIY. I stopped racing in 1963/4 after the introduction of Broadspeed's S's. There was no way that we could complete with them and their (relatively) vast resources. By the way I was a member of TEAC when they invented rallycross and involved in its promotion.

One of my favorite guys to watch racing against Alfas, Cortinas American V8's etc. Magical. Also got a SW5 cam in my car. May you continue long into the future.

Great guy, company and cars! 💯🖖

@okgo8315 4 месяца назад

Great video and story. I especially loved the engine development, specs, head castings etc. My pal since we were kids Graham Davies (rip) worked for Downton engineering and on their famous A40. A genius mechanic since he was 18 got me totally interested and involved in his racing world, so i thoroughly enjoyed this video, thanks.👍✌️🇬🇧

This was just wonderful!; start to finish and word for word! Pleeze no hate, but now i am so gonna watch the original "Italian Job.".

@terryjacob8169 4 месяца назад

Swiftune probably have more experience of extracting maximum power from A-Series engines than anyone. Their crankshafts with two dummy main journals and extra counterweights are brilliant.

@davidleleux4948 4 месяца назад

I agree, I saw it, very impressive !

@ianvincent4013 4 месяца назад

Hi Nick Out of interest, what camshafts do you use? or do you manufacture your own? In the days when I had a 1275 I put , I think it was BL 88g229, with more valve open times than a 1/2 race cam, made it quite a lumpy engine but boy, did it go!.

I bet anyone that one day Lewis Hamilton will 100% drive a Mini like Nick at a Goodwood race.

@bobstuart2638 4 месяца назад

Issigonis tried to replace the "A" engine with a flat four in both the Morris Minor and then the Mini, but here we are with that obsolete long-stroke engine designed to beat the English tax systems still being refined.
