Tried selling on ebay but no joy.

It has got to go.

Will need a long tube on the back to fit Elf or Hornet but too good to throw away

Free to collector - I am based near Bordon in Hampshire

Jono are you interested?

Anyone else?

First come first served!

Thanks for the offer!

I needed one earlier in the year, but I'm all set now. Take it down the scrappy and weigh it in for £0.02!

At the risk of hijacking the thread (apologies) what do you all do for exhausts ? Does anyone sell a performance exhaust for the booted variant ? I used a Maniflow centre exit for a Mini and had to lengthen the tail pipe which isn't ideal but works OK.

Pretty sure I used an estate version last time I changed mine, and there is definitely one for the estate.

The preferred system ( in this part of the world ) uses the RC40 rear box from ( I think) Minispares.
The pipe feeding into the RC40 has to of the required extra length because of the longer Elf/Hornet boot underside.
For ideal Rally performance this underpipe has to be " engineered" i.e. cut & resectioned to follow the underbody
profile where it runs under the boot floor - the idea being that exhaust damage or loss is reduced. Two other steps are also recommended ; -
(1) A triangular shaped skid or deflector -plate is welded to the front of the RC40 box ; and
(2) A length of metal dog chain is attached under the boot floor - so that should an exhaust mount fail, the tail pipe will be caught by the
chain & the exhaust therefore remains held in place - albeit slightly lower that when originally hung.

It goes without saying that in all codes of Rallying (especially night events) the loss of an exhaust means " Rally over"(too much noise).

Used RC40 twin box section and an LCB are on Ebay at the moment, as described above to use these you would need a link pipe to join them up and an extebnded tail pipe (piece of tube) to extend under the long boot.
LCB item 320935325719, RC40 to be listed later
