Taylorspeed Mini Jem Mk. 1, AUS, Owner: Syd Crawford

This Taylorspeed Jem was seen for sale at an optimistic price on a Melbourne web site. The blurb read: “These very rare little cars are much sought after in the UK and are eligible for SB Sports historic events here in Australia. Cooper S running gear and 450kgs, make these cars very quick. This vehicle has had a series of owners but has never been registered, road driven or raced.  IT IS A NEW CAR. An unusual but terrific little car that would be a great weekend, targa, hill climb or historic racer.” We were very pleased to be contacted by the new owner in Canberra who is preparing to register the car and is hoping to use it for classic racing. Syd says he paid somewhat less than the asking price!
