Now, more than 40 years after the Minisprint hit the road, and after many different people and companies have produced their own take on the Minisprint;

The “Original Trickett Minisprint” is available once again!

Neville’s idea is to recreate this iconic Mini variant at a price & in a manner that will appeal to the average person.  For long enough the Sprint has been the preserve of the super rich enthusiast who keeps it tucked away at the back of his garage along with his other fine racing cars.

Neville’s new approach is to convert a shell to your specification attending to all the tricky cutting & welding leaving the owner or a bodywork specialist to prepare the shell for painting and complete the installation of all other components.

This uniquely flexible approach allows for the production of a number of variants.

The Minisprint Classic

A traditional BMC Mini cut, chopped & de-seamed but leaving  the original rain gutter in place.  This enables  the finished car to remain comparatively standard looking and accommodates the standard two tone colour schemes of the Mini Cooper easily.  This version does require the fitting of a non standard cut down screen that can be supplied with your sprint shell.

The Minisprint R

The Sprint R is the current incarnation of the Minisprint  with super sleek lines more akin to the original Minisprint Racer.  Featuring a canted back standard size windscreen the Streamline is the most aerodynamic Sprint available.  The Streamline would make a superb basis for a historic type GT racer or would make a really head turning road car that no one could fail to notice.

Minisprint Custom.
?
As each Minisprint is made to order after extensive discussion with the customer.  Most custom ideas can be accommodated.  While Neville cannot guarantee that anything is possible he will attempt to accommodate your ideas within your Sprint, making your Original Trickett Sprint absolutely unique.

What is required?
To prepare your personal Minisprint Neville will require a decent, solid Mini shell complete with Boot, Bonnet, Doors, Petrol Tank, Front Subframe and all associated fixings, mounting etc.  To be delivered to his residence in Normandy (northern France).  The shell can be an original MK1 or 2 like the original Sprints or it can be a MK3 on internal door hinge shell, Neville has even converted  brand new Heritage shells for customers.  The work required to turn your solid, square shell into a Minisprint usually takes around 6 - 8 weeks, whereupon it can be collected.

How Much Does it Cost?
The current price for an Original Trickett Minisprint starts from only  3,500 Euro.
