I recall that the finished weight was of the order of 5cwt, it had a close ratio gearbox, twin SU'S and about 4 lbs turned off the flywheel. Made my own IDF suspension and the chassis was boxed with 1/8" Mild steel. The wheels were widened and the suspension lowered all finished off with a rather smart Tonneau cover. The fibreglass body came with two doors but you didn't need to use these to get in, you simply stepped over them.
It was also very capable of stopping rather quickly due to the brand new Hydraulic brakes made for a Morris Minor 1000.
Can't recall what the top speed/acceleration was, but in the days when the "Frog's Eye Sprite" brigade sat in their shiny new toy's complete with Cloth cap and String backed gloves, it gave me enormous satisfaction to know that when the traffic light's went green these guys would soon be disappearing from my rearview mirror!!
