Nice one LJ. There's a good possibility that Downton have kept a record of all the cars that they have sold and or modified in recent years.  |

I tried contacting the current 'Downton'firm,but was informed that they had no records of the original company and what they did to convert the standard engines.Thanks for trying 1jonez-I still live in hopes. Did over 600 miles this weekend.She went like a dream!!

Good to hear the Cooper ran perfectly. Surprised the current Downton owners don't have any records of their more recent work.  This is a long shot Brian, i'll have a look in some old Mini mags as i'm pretty sure there have been articles written about the current firm. |

Anyone remember when Downton Tuning was resurrected.?? It was sometime in the early to mid nineties, i think. |

Still looking Brian.
Found some small ads about their services which included modded cylinder heads for the MPIs, but not much on all their tuning packages..
