I wouldn't recommend a Weber for your sister, too many compromises to make.
A Weber will make it impossible, or difficult at best, to get both an air cleaner and a speedo cable on. You will probably need to trim the speedo opening in the fire wall to fit an air cleaner. A Weber will also make plenty of induction noise and you made find that the car will also get the smell of petrol inside. Look out for a pair of SU's from an MG Midget or a Cooper S, much better option in my opinion.

maybe I dont want her to drive it........ :tease:

seriously though it will be more than likely be getting twin 1 1/4 SU's like you said, the weber can come later, once the novelty of the mini wears off an its left for me to play with :spoton:

Paint it Blue, and that would suit Makka! He can carry all his new tools in the back of it to work!

Colours looks much nicer in those pics. Actually quite a nicely shaped body on the coopers and clubmans.
