Its not a mini cooper, its a mini van and has been racing since the mid seventies. It used a steel flip body originally.

Here's a photo of the original one. The car was then sold and I believe it was the second owner who redid the car and built a whole new chassis for it and put a fiberglass body I was trying to look at some of those early photos and I couldn't find them right now I got too many. The third owner gave it to paint job of today.

Go to YouTube see the video that I put down it's got the car in it the very first car shown in the video it's really too bad the damn woman stood up just at the finish line so you couldn't see the time. I wish I could tell you more about the Jag motor but I've had this for a long time and I forget if you look it up start teaser if you do the digging it's in there and answer all your questions because the section with the motor they had all that information.

I'm glad you guys really have enjoyed this post because it does show promise as a real neat looking miniature. I have so many different photographs I used to belong to one of the clubs but I got tired of people taking other people's posts for their posts instead of going and looking it up themselves the owner I asked you one day how many photos do you see at a visit he said all about 5 or 10 he was surprised when I told him when I go looking I get between 35 to 100 photos of good stuff. I used to go to a lot of the car shows in the area not too much anymore it's kind of hard for me to get around I'm getting too old I have about 10 SD cards filled with car shows here's a few that I've attended. I also found a photo of the second owner of Star Teaser and a photo with the body being painted without the lettering
