It also features additional cooling with a high capacity alloy radiator, additional cooling fan and oil cooler.

In addition to upgrades to the engine, the car benefits from a straight cut Jack Knight transmission, fully adjustable shock absorbers, tie bars and rear anti-roll bar, and sits on 13 inch wheels with uprated 4 pot calipers at the front. YFC 533V also features a stripped out interior with full bolt-in roll cage, bucket seats, performance dash with both internal/external battery isolator and full extinguisher system covering engine bay, interior and boot. This potent Mini is accompanied by a comprehensive folder including invoices dating back to 1989, a number of previous MOTs and Swansea V5.
