Mini Miglia - Front running - Fresh rebuild

Sale Price: £22,450.00 Original Price: £31,950.00

Well known car raced by Kieren McDonald, no.88 for the last few seasons including 2023. The car is prepared and run by SMG Motorsport known for winning championships and racing/building mini se7ens/miglias for years. There is the option for the new owner to be run by SMG also. This car was built and raced originally by James Lindridge (and Robert Morris) and was one of 3 cars known for their beautiful build quality. The car won the BCT (British Car Trophy) in the hands of James, and often frequented the Mini Miglia grid in 'Libre' spec. The car was then converted to full Miglia spec and raced on and off over the last few years since 2018. Kieren has ran in podium positions, just narrowly missing out on the trophy. Following further developments by SMG, Kieren raced the following 2023 rounds - BTCC Thruxton rounds 7 & 8, Brands Hatch mini festival rounds 12 &13, Silverstone rounds 16 & 17. All results were top 10 with the highlight being qualifying at Brands Hatch mini festival in P6 out of a very strong 32 car grid with some big names. 2023 races were all finished showing 100% reliability and with lap times showed this car in the right hands is fully capable of fighting for podium positions.

This car was hired for 4 races in 2025 to a new racer and finished all races with 100% reliability.

The car is ready to race - it's got the power, everything is in date, chassis works perfectly. If you can drive, you will be fighting at the front! No expense spared - it is being sold fully sorted so that the new buyer can jump in and race, and come out with a huge smile!

Price

£31950 but open to discussion and option of splitting rolling shell/engine.

Thank you to Matthew Barrington for a few of his fantastic trackside photographs!
