Mini
based car
made by the Peel Engineering Company
on the Isle of Man
between 1966 and 1967. It was a 1966 Racing Car Show debutant, and while not the prettiest of alternative Minis, it did have durability and 2+2 practicality on its side. Using moulded replicas of cut-down Mini doors, the glassfibre, monocoque
, fast back styled bodyshell sold for 230 GBP and accepted standard Mini front and rear subframes on a square tube chassis.
After two prototypes were made production was taken over by Bill Last who formed Viking Performance of Woodbridge, Suffolk
to make it and the car renamed the Viking Minisport.
A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example, show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate o' shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
It's a beautiful night... You can almost see the stars.
