Jeff came from Cleethorpes and ran an engine tuning business. His specialty was an inclines port head for the Mini's 'A' series engine. Inclining the ports created a more direct passage of fuel/air mixture from the carburettor to the combustion chamber, increasing the efficiency of the poor standard head design. Jeff's Mini was very fast and successful.
