Aye Barrie, the mini stock was a four cell ob with a standard 540 motor and the shell based on a mini car body. A very basic design but near bullet proof.

They were the very devil to control on floor tiles and folk used to put "greenstuff" on the foam tyres to try to get some grip. Then carpet racing allowed full throttle racing. I got into it through my son who raced the 'buggy' cars, actually racing my own was the only way to get a rest from lap counting, marshalling, etc.
