Minari (United Kingdom)

Minari Engineering was a British kit-car marque founded in 1990 by Andrew Borrowman and Sean Prendergast in Staffordshire. The company produced lightweight GRP-monocoque sports cars that reused Alfa Romeo Alfasud and 33 running gear. Early production consisted of the Club Sport (Mk1), followed in 1993 by the Road Sport (Mk2), which formed the bulk of sales; a lighter windscreen-delete Road Sport RSR was also offered in very small numbers. Minari relocated from Ranton to Seighford in 1994 and ceased production in 2000. Total output was reported at roughly 140–150 cars across variants.

After 2000, rights to the design passed through several custodians. Minari International briefly continued supply, Adrenaline Motorsport took over in 2006 while developing the related Delfino project that fed into the Subaru-powered Murtaya, and Peninsula Sports Cars later acquired the Mk2 Road Sport tooling and rights (2011) to support spares and occasional kit supply. Public activity diminished after the late 2010s, leaving Minari as a small but notable example of 1990s UK kit-car engineering centred on Alfa boxer-powered components.
