I wanted to do one of the original Coopers but we can't find any over here. Well, let me correct that, we found an Austin Cooper but it was a rust bucket :\
Hope you have fun with with

Rex....That thing will be so traction limited! What company is building it? There is an old school Mini around here (SoCal) with a B18 Integra Motor in it. It does the 1/4 in 12.5.....W/NOS woh!
I am waiting for my turbo motor to arrive from the UK so I can transplant it into my 61 Mini. Currently my car has 35 hp.....when I am done, it'll have 125hp. in an 1100lb MK1 car! woh!
btw...To other folks in the US....There are over 15000 old school Mini's in the US right now. They are easy to find if you know where to look. www.minimania.com/msgthreads.cfm.....go to the for sale section.

But the car is mechanically simple. They are designed so the owner can service it himself....which I do.
