Brakes were first job on my R50 mini. Then wheels and tyres then suspension. Just sold it and the guy that bought it was stunned how different to his r53 it was and almost sent him through the windscreen when I showed him how good the brakes are😁 Check behind you before you test Ruby's new brakes !!!

You now start to understand why supercars cost so much money with the amount of design and engineering that goes into the manufacture of components such as these braking systems. Alcon, a great British Company in the heart of the Midlands👍😎
