    If i was lucky enough to find a classic with around 90 BHP, what kind of performance would i be getting, not concerned with top speed, but i need something with a bit of oomph
    Opinions please

    You'd be looking at a 0-60 of around 9 Secs or so if I remeber correctly. It'll feel a lot quicker than it is too, and there won't be too much hanging on your tail round the twisty bits.

    Standard Injection Cooper comes out with about 63bhp.. (Duncan S?) I think..

    THe John Cooper Limited Edition S had 90 I think... plenty of poke!!

    Regardless of what the actual figures are, 90bhp will FEEL very fast!! 63bhp felt plenty fast enough to me...

    Looking good! WOW that's shiney...

    Our wee classic has 120bhp tops, but the boost is turned down to about 85bhp at the moment, and that is still PLENTY fast enough to plant a huge smile on your face!!
    TBH I think the 120 is a bit too much.....
    90 would still be serious fun!

    Happy hunting!

    Thought that might be the case. Was hoping it would be nearer 90.
