The Terrapin Mk1, Mini based 'self build' race car was designed by Allan Staniforth and detailed in his 1969 book
"High Speed Low Cost - The story of a 140mph Mini engined world record breaker and how to build it".
The book was out of print for some considerable time, but thanks to the efforts of Robert Macknay (a Terrapin builder),
a 40th Anniversary Edition of the book was published in 2003.
Pictures of Robert Macknay's Terrapin and pictures of historic Terrapins can be found at
