K20A from the RSX Type S? 6 speed?
Six speed? Not to my knowledge but at the time the conversation I was having was with Norman about the B-18 and that I recall was a 5. Don't know. I guess I ought to add that to my list next time I call them...I hate calling though and I don't think they're thrilled either.

Hi all, im Bryan and live in Melbourne in Australia. I came accross this site by chance and after reading through a lot of posts i thought i would join up and add my 2 cents worth
I am restoring a 1964 morris 85o (Australian built) at the moment. Not into keeping it original... thats for the next time in 10 or so years!! Ive had the car for about 4 years (mabey closer to 3) and have had it off the road under a full resto for the past 12 months.
I bought the car in Perth (Western Oz) and drove it to Melbourne without touching it really! Thats about 4500 kilometers or 2000 miles!! Since then i have done a trip up to the north eastern tip of Oz (another 4500km each way) and back to Melbourne. I figure cars a re built to be driven and the mini is just so much fun!
My car has had a few lives in its 43 years and when i got it it was red wut a white roof... the paint was eons old and powdery but at the time all i had the cash (and) time to do was a quicky respray in the back yard with the help of my flatmates! The result was something quite radical!! That stuck for a couple of years and now im doing something more readical!!! Giving the Union Jack paint job a new twist!! (showing the cars heritage).
here is a pic of the Express as it was when i first got her!(I call her the Nullarbor Express ... the nullarbor is a desert in Oz that i had to cross to go from Perth to Melbourne)
and then after the back yard paint job!
On the trip north
and finally a taste of the rebuild.... this is the union jack paint job....
Well, all the above are the same car... I have posted a restoration thread about the car as well.
BTW. You guys have some nice minis there.
Cheers, Bryan

Here's a picture of our classic minis in Manila. I only get to drive them when I go for a vacation. I still do not have the financial means to import it here in the US. maybe in the future.
The pickup was re-bodied to MK3. The one behind it is a 1990 Mini Mayfair. and the 3rd is an original '62 Morris 850 (sold)
