Used to own a 1300cc twin carb min back in the 70s which was a little wolf in sheep's clothing. This is from another galaxy, and the look on your face! Love it.
First!! Evening all! Hope everyone is doing well and have great week. Love the madness that Z Cars come up with. The basic space frame look awesome. The blue clubman is a fantastic project and it’s great the customer is not stopping his disability from have a cool classic mini.
Thank heavens we still have brilliant engineers who think outside “The Box” and create such iconic cars. BRILLIANT. Still have a soft spot for the original Mini, my first company car at age 22yrs was a 1275 Cooper S. my boss gave me a budget and a found a superb Cooper S. I took the S off the boot lid and he thought I had bought an 850 mini.🤭
Such a perfect car for British roads. Drive the stuffing out of these motors before they're banned! Mahalo for this precious footage of people ENJOYING themselves with automobiles! Aloha!
@@gewglesux 🤣😆When I see folks having fun with these cars...I can almost hear Greta Thunberg screaming, "How dare you?" And almost see load of pols nodding in agreement. 😆🤣
The car for a wheelchair user makes me well up a bit being a wheelchair user and a mini lover.. couple of dream cars in this video fingers crossed for the lotto win 😊
Looks surprisingly well planted on the road. Past conversions look to be quite a handful, with the driver wrestling the controls. This looked refined and capable. The speed in which the cars behind disappeared gave us a clue in the performance.
Peter…what impressed me was the suspension because you both seemed very calm and the ride looked stable without being throw all over the place. That is more clever than the speed! I hope the viewing numbers go well! 😃😃😃😃 Richard
@@PetrolPedPeter…just back from Sidmouth and a week of 4* luxury so now is gloom…but we go back again in February! Viewer numbers….I’m sure it will improve but it must really tax your mind to think of something that will take off. I don’t see why this video should not work but it is a shame Dave found the camera so intimidating…maybe he needs to have lessons from Tiff Needel! I also missed any mention of the pricing which if not too bad, might have raised interest…but my complete guess is c£70,000 for a complete car to spec…I might be miles out??? Don’t worry though…viewers will increase as comments spread among enthusiasts.😂 😃😃😃🙏🙏🙏🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼Richard
Great video Ped. One of those, with a bog-standard looking estate body would be the ultimate sleeper and track car for me. Going to have to check down the back of the sofa to see if I can scrape together the pennies for one, I think. ❤
My dream is always been to own a z-car mini. Feel in love with the years ago when a friend built a Vtec Mini Mayfair and introduced me to the videos. Always had wee 998 minis. This would be the ultimate upgrade.
Einfach Wünderbar ! Serious product difficult to match ! I purchased the mini Sir Richard Branson used to clinch the Guinness world record for the most dames cramed into a classic mini cooper back in 2013 - Braamfontein Johanesburg South Africa. Alas the same ladies can no longer repeat the feat. Fantastic creations Dave and Co.
I remember replacing a red top for an old Mate of mine rewarded with a drive up To the Birmingham mini 50 th anniversary wow z cars had done amazing work on that car too amazing
Your face when you accelerate 😂, Daves not a talker is he 😅 and the way the car in the rear view disappears as you give it some , awesome cars and now I really want one
Brilliant, these types of videos are great. It's good to see what goes on under the covers, the engineering is excellent. Couldn't you have got it on a track? I wonder how many times this chap has been pulled over by the police. Not for speeding ofcourse, but just to have a look it and ask questions!
Defiantly a market for this. I live next to the Morgan factory and those guys are doing very well considering its such a small factory. They have the big parts outsourced and essentially just bolt it together. Z cars could easily do the same, have carbon fibre shells pre made for them, just make the chasis in house from pre bent bars, slap an off the shelf engine in there and a bispoke management system. Its the way to do it for sure. Could do that with electric also. For the mini its easy there are many places making replacement shells in all materials. That car the owner has is perfection love it.
Ped, you need to persuade him to let Misha at the Nurburgring have a go. That would make some epic content, seeing it perform on a track like that. Definitely want my own version, wouldn't have the money without winning the lottery, lol.
Another great vlog Pedro hopefully your vlog showing the towing capacity of the electric vehicle where you use the Mercedes towing the caravan and 100 mile round trip gets a few more views as other vloggers have had comments suggesting this so have said to watch your vlog on this so hopefully they have but keep up the good vlogs 😊😊😊
Would have loved to see the expression on the faces of the other drivers (especially the red MINI) on the motorway as you shot past them. Effortless and, as you said, totally bonkers!!
I wonder what the owner of the BMW mini made of that when it came up the slip road and flew past 😂 My classic mini only has 50 bhp but is still great fun to drive. These cars are absolutely stunning works of engineering art but I think I would get into a lot of trouble very quickly in one. Not that I could afford one!
All of the zed cars and builds have been amazing. Great video! Thank you zed cars for letting Sir Pete do these videos with your cars! Darn it Sir Pete your making me want a mini lol
I’ve never driven a mini but that much power in such a small car I would be 💩💩 myself just think off no safety built in the car like modern cars of today ie airbags side beams etc unbelievable car great review 👍
HI all, have to say that setup look amazing and the way they are using there experties to creat and work with all peoples needs. Is that mini actually road leagal !!
Used to watch these guys 20 years ago when Bill Sollis took a few out with Ian Stent. Twin R1 and Busa engine ones. For me it would have to be a high revving VTEC Type R all day long for them revs. Once you've driven VTEC it's just so much more rewarding than a big lazy turbo. Great cars though. Cracking video Pete. Oh also loving the Drive Torque podcast. 💪
Oh my word, just awesome!! Hats off to the genius. What about spec'ing with the rs3 5cyl for the added little bit of sound (and of course shipping to Australia :) )
Chris Allanson, the real brains behind Z Cars. He raced very successfully in National Autograss Racing. As did Roy Millington, whose engines are used in the MST vehicles and many more. There's some very good RUclips content on the series now. Class 5, 7 and 8 are worth checking out.
Chris Slade’s mini has twice the power, driven wheels and 100% more aero ;) Great car though, Zcars have been in the game of making mental minis forever and this is no exception!
That is epic mate 👊🏻I thought Moggy was a nutter but you are giving him a run for the title !!! That sound and the way it pulls is astonishing 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦!! Has anyone brought a left hand one to Canada yet?
You need to check out some of BBR GTI's MX5 builds, i have got a 300+bhp version, it could be more as the engine is fully forged but wanted to keep it half sensible as it's a road car. ps. the owner of the first Z car mini you drove lives about 50 meters from me.
I'd love a classic mini with a tastefully understated but modernized exterior and a turbo awd drivetrain underneath. Their shop would be a dream job for me, even if it were just sweeping the floors.
My first car 40+ tears ago as a lad was a 1275GT Mini in that same blue as the Clubman it had a black vinyl roof and was a grwat little run-around but I had to move it on because it was killing my back ! ... my next car was a much more comfortable ride, a Renault 5.... 😂
Hei I am very impressed with that mini , could you please tell more about the coilovers , where did you get them because i have a light car as yours but i dont what coilovers to get for a 700 kg car .
Bro, I have noticed a problem. I noticed on RUclips that most of the modifications use r1 or hayabusa engines. I have never seen Ducati V4 or other v4 engines mounted on them. Is it because the V4 is not suitable for the car or is there some other problem?
The clubman traveller, that would be my choice, in Mitsubishi Icelle blue with wood and picket style finish interior. Best bit for me is at 21m, the blue car behind just vanishes into the horizon😂.

Yes and considering how small the wheels are on a mini the way the car tracks down the motorway in such a smooth controld manner was impressive 😊
Z Cars are the OG's of this and im happy to see they are still going strong. Ive been a fan since the 1st web page appeared
👍
Great video Ped. One of those, with a bog-standard looking estate body would be the ultimate sleeper and track car for me. Going to have to check down the back of the sofa to see if I can scrape together the pennies for one, I think. ❤
👍
You are onto something there. I wonder what options we have here in Oz as a hot Mini is my retirement lego project.
I'd have the bog standard estate, widebody 😂 with AWD 🤗
That’s absolutely awesome, the speed of those gear changes and how quickly the cars behind vanish into the distance 😂
I know, right?
When watching this video from the beginning till the end, I had a big fat smile on my face. God, I love those cars!
Awesome 🙌
Got to be the best mini I’ve ever seen, the sound, everything about it is top notch, only thing I’d change is the front to a Clubman cause I love em.
👍
I've got a mint 88 Mini, it doesn't do any of that except crash over bumps just the same. Brilliant
Wow,that thing is a beast.Well tamed behind the wheel.Great vid.
Thanks 👍

I've had 10 Mini's... When I was 16-20 years old. from the N.E of England, all my friends had one.. This is next level!!! WANT ONE !!!!!!!!!
👍
Crazy sound, crazy fast, built by a guy with a Crazy Imagination 💪🏻 hats off 👍🏻
Your cup of tea 👍
@@PetrolPedcertainly is! I’m
Building a VTEC swap at the moment, just without the turbos and insane power!
What a piece of engineering, what an absolute weapon! Smiled all the way through this 👌🏻
I remember replacing a red top for an old
Mate of mine rewarded with a drive up
To the Birmingham mini 50 th anniversary wow z cars had done amazing work on that car too amazing
I went to Silverstone in my old Mini for the 35th anniversary of the mini. It was unbelievable, Mini's everywhere I think about 25,000 of them..
Hi ped that car sounds epic and you are right you would have to be very careful with it because it will be a missile with that bhp
It sure is 👍
Your face when you accelerate 😂, Daves not a talker is he 😅 and the way the car in the rear view disappears as you give it some , awesome cars and now I really want one

A track would have been mega and scary 😧
Turbo flutter is awesome, what a weapon. Love it ❤
Oh yes 🙌
Brilliant fun, that Mini!! Not my kind of fun, but each to their own!!
Brilliant Video 👍 if my numbers come up tonight 1st stop Z cars, then the big boy brave pants and pill shop! Well done Pete
Thanks mate 👍 Say hi to Me Julie 🥰
@@PetrolPed will do mate, she’s doing well, even though she was told to rest she’s already been on Zwift!

No way!

Oh god I am seriously tempted to get in touch with them this could be an very expensive Xmas.
Go for it. Tell them I said hi 👋
Evening PP. NOW YA TALKING! I adore the Original Mini. ❤❤👍🇬🇧
Mega thing 👌
this is my favourite sleeper car so far!!!❤ .. ultimate mini rocket.

Sunday morning ,read the the paper 🤔no watch a bonkers Mini. Loved this Pete 👍
👊
Would have loved to see the expression on the faces of the other drivers (especially the red MINI) on the motorway as you shot past them. Effortless and, as you said, totally bonkers!!
Would love to see that 😂

Great video and a totally bonkers Z-Cars build. No way they can ever top that 👍😎
You got that right 👍
I love these crazy reviews, it’s great seeing what people choose to do, mad, but brilliant.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Bonkers and brilliant - I want one! (Or a go in one at least).
😂😂😂
I’m not sure these would get past the regs here in Australia. Haha
But would love one for sure.
My dream car! Great vid Ped, loved every minute of this.
All of the zed cars and builds have been amazing. Great video! Thank you zed cars for letting Sir Pete do these videos with your cars!
Darn it Sir Pete your making me want a mini lol
Good 😜😂
what a mini-dreamfactory...no words for that just awesome
Yep 👍
I’ve never driven a mini but that much power in such a small car I would be 💩💩 myself just think off no safety built in the car like modern cars of today ie airbags side beams etc unbelievable car great review 👍

Small lightweight car+ motorbike engine, is one of my favourite combos ever.
That is epic mate 👊🏻I thought Moggy was a nutter but you are giving him a run for the title !!! That sound and the way it pulls is astonishing 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦!! Has anyone brought a left hand one to Canada yet?
Oh yeah!
Great video of a great car 👏👏

Bring to East TN. 318 curves in 11 miles Slay the Dragon .Love those minis😊😊😊😊
That mini reaches 70mph on the motorway really quickly 🤭😇👍
It sure does 😜
Huge thanks to Dave from Zcars Evolutions for letting us see his amazing creations.
Indeed 🙏🏻👍
I've always thought 400 bhp is the sweetspot for driveability but this would be on another level.
This is awesome, I have a 06 cooper s that I'd like to AWD and K20 swap.
Best vid for a while ❤
Thanks 🙏🏻
So it's not really a Mini at all then. It's essentially a go-kart with a replica Mini body.
What amazingly and maybe frightening vechiles
Yep 👍
Another good reel Pete. Oh to have that sort of disposable income.
Love the sound.
👍
Wicked car! You wouldn't want to play poker against Dave.
Definitely not 😜😂
" what a mean badass angry mini !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 ( I want one
Love it ❤ best mini build ever more ov this please
More to come!
WOW.Mental.Love it.👍
Brilliant video
Thanks 🙏🏻
The quiet ones are always the craziest
Oh yes 🙌
Jackal & Hyde looks more like Satan & Jackal. Thanks Pete.
😂😂😂😂
8:19 love that Blue Clubman
Cool isn’t it 👍
You’ve got to get yourself one of those Pete 👍
I wish 👍
Had one years ago with a Yamaha R1 engine in back ended up in a Field upside down 😂, was a bit loud in side though
Nice 👌
I’d want one with a FA24 in Solar Orange Pearl with carbon miglia arches and door step sill protectors
love it🤩
I can think of several z cars I'd be more than happy to own, at least I can dream of them.
Gen 1 mini r50/r53 pano roof 👀 also the clubman estate has me thinking things about my 79 I really can’t afford 😂
😜😂
Hei I am very impressed with that mini , could you please tell more about the coilovers , where did you get them because i have a light car as yours but i dont what coilovers to get for a 700 kg car .
4 wheel drive S3 DSG when is it coming. Road and Sprint
That's just WOW!!
Yep 🔥
Was the kerb weight mentioned in the vid? If so, I missed it!
Simply Fun..... :-)) xx
Yes it was!
Get that over to Mat Watson for a drag race. It would be epic
It's like a Ledgends car!
Nice work mate. You should organise a race against project binky.
We would win 😜😂
What a build😊❤
Indeed 👍
Great video!! But give me an electric car any day of the week!!
