The BRA Q4. The Q4 was based around the mechanical components of two cars: the classic Mini and the Rover Metro. The space frame is constructed from MIG welded
42mm x 3mm CHS structural steel and incorporates MIG welded zin-tec floors, zin-tec rear bulkhead, At the front the steering, suspension, hubs and brakes are all Mini components although the standard Mini rubber suspension units have been replaced with adjustable coil-over dampers. BRA manufactured billet wheel spacers are used to increase track and to allow the oversize wheels and tyres to clear the body side panels. At the rear of the Q4 there is a Rover Metro front sub-frame complete with engine/gearbox, hydrogas suspension units (modified to give independent suspension), suspension and hubs. Rover MGF brake calipers are fitted to the modified Metro hub carriers and incorporate a mechanical hand brake. BRA manufactured billet wheel adapters are used to increase the rear track and convert the Metro wheel stud pattern to match the front Mini pattern.

A massive deviation from the usual style of BRA; the
BRA Q4 (the 4th project in the queue at the time of conception in 2003!) was designed to be a road legal
all terrain vehicle. Only two were produced and they are still owned by BRA. Both are registered for road use.
Possible engine variants include the 1.1 K8, 1.4 K16 and
1.4 K16 turbo. The exhaust system is a BRA manufactured stainless steel system with specialist silencer.
