[edit] Broadspeed in the 1960s
Broadspeed Engineering Limited and Broadspeed Limited of Sparkbrook, Birmingham UK was originally formed by Ralph Broad in 1962, specialising performance engine tuning. Team Broadspeed successfully campaigned Mini Cooper racers - and manufactured the 1965 Broadspeed GT Coupe based on a Mark 1 Austin Mini Cooper 1275 S.
[edit] Broadspeed in the 1990s
Broadspeed Engineering Limited and Broadspeed Limited were purchased by Simon Empson in 1995. The company moved to Colchester, Essex in 1996 and specialised in restoring Mini Coopers and other Mini derivatives such as the Austin Mini Woody Countryman, Mini Van and Pickup. More than 1,000 Broadspeed Minis were exported to around 40 countries worldwide - and a highly modified Mini Countryman was commissioned by Roy Edward Disney, Walt Disney's nephew.
