Another very well known name in the world of Mini Tuning is JANSPEED. Founded by Hungarian refugee and former Downton main man Jan Odor in 1964 Janspeed went on to become one of the very best of the best. Janspeed made their early name by offering equipment that look suspiciously like that offered by "Downton" at considerably reduced prices. Compare the two logos, even the "New" Janspeed logo was a total rip off of the by then famour Downton one. However as Jan Odor's reputation built he went on to eclipse the achievements of Mr. Richmonds company without any of the "Works" backing that Downton always found so helpful. Below you will find a selection of edited pages from the Janspeed catalogue that was first published in 1969. Then compare the prices to those in the Downton section. If only things were that cheap nowadays! Mini Kits, Cooper & S's Kits, Cylinder Heads, Inlet Manifolds, Engineering Services Earlier Catalogue Cover.
