Irish Mini Owners Club

Does anyone know how many RSP,s were sold in this country when they were first put on sale or were this info can be got.I was just wondering as I got ready to chop the Apanel off mine last night.I,m thinking of doing MTM08 in it so I had better start getting ready.And no comments about getting ready early,I, ll still be putting it back together the night before.

They went on sale in 1990 if I remember correctly and would guess that maybe 10 or 15 came in here. Rover were only selling about 80 Minis here a year back then.

You could try the RSP register for more info:

Thanks Dave, I,ll try them because I know of only one other Irish one and it,s a long time since that saw the road and it will be a long time before it sees it again.

My brother had one years ago. It was black with white roof and a 91C reg. It belonged to Kevin Ring before that. Don't know where it is now.

Billy was that a second-hand or in BINI speak (pre-loved) english import or an Irish car

IMOC Member, Tom Healy has a RSP, but he brought it with him to Italy when he moveed over there a few years ago.

I'll be bringing another one to the island very soon

Also black with white roof.

OHH, THEY'LL BE COMMON AS MUCK SOON.

SPI power!!

RSP,s had a HIF44 carb and not a sign of an ECU to be seen anywhere as opposed to the SPI which had a magic box of fairies to make it go.So no stopping for me when I hit a pot hole and resetting the ECU.Modern technology bah humbug.

just piggybacking on this thread... I have a set of RSP wheels which i could be persuaded to part with, if anyone was seeking same... they are like these: http://www.rsp-cooper-register.co.uk/im ... dtryre.jpg

I havent examined them closely but i believe them to be in good nick.
