An Autocross event in Wales from 1969 in link below, quite a few Mk1 Minis in it.
 Rhyl Motor Club Slip sliding away: motor sport time trials for Minis in particular at Towyn, between Abergele and Rhyl:- https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/...ub-1969-online "Rhyl & District Motor Club was founded in 1946 and a car of that era is parked with loudspeakers attached to its roof as a new generation of cars slip and slither around a time-trials course at Towyn, between Abergele and Rhyl, on land in front of Ysgol Maes Owen (primary school in Morfa Avenue, Foryd, Rhyl). Nippy little Minis predominate, a black one sponsored by 'Star St Garage Merlyn Pyer – Cardiff'. A red and orange one, from 'Crompton Transport St Fagans', comes a cropper. This footage was shot by Joseph Cone, of Pentre, Queensferry, Flintshire, a member of Deeside Cine Club (HQ: Rivertown Schoolroom, Shotton) and a provider of film shows locally. He was proprietor of a General Merchant's business, selling hardware, oil and electrical goods and photographic film which he developed and printed."

It's as if the ride would turn on its side. Good, historic shot, overall.

Aerodynamic Mini Mk1 (1965)...long before the R50 MINI (2001).

 John Chappell - Howley Racing "For a while back in the early 1970's with Special Saloon racing at its most popular John Chappel became the fastest man in a Mini around Oulton Park. He rivalled Geoff Wood as the 1-litre king always in his dark blue and white-roofed Cooper under the Howley Racing ( of Warrington ) banner . For 1972 John moved up a class with a 1293cc engine and set a new class record of 1 minute 50.2 on the long circuit. Always content to just race in his native north-west rather than chase national championship honours John won his class at least 34 times in career from at least 1965 to 1977. Later concentrating on his Howley business his younger brother? Brendan Chappel continued the good work in the team's 850 class Mini racer in the latter half of the 70s." http://www.modbase.info/john-chappel/4594543188 Last edited by mab01UK; 23 Dec 2020 at 13:45. |

Lots of Mk1 Mini's & Mini Coopers and a Mini Pickup in the second cine film from 4m.30s
 750 Motor Club Cumberland Centre Autocross, 1960's "A selection of cine footage of members of the 750 Motor Club's Cumberland (Cumbria) Centre in the 1960's. The early footage in the movie was shot in a field beside the old A74 Cumberland Gap. The later footage was shot at Kirkbride Airfield. The low slung special at the beginning of the movie was aptly known as the 'Ball Scorcher'." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t40B5MJv_GQ |

 Geoff Wood, Mallory Park coming into the hairpin 1972/3. The engine in the purple Mini was a short crank 1300cc Holbay Ford (too short as it was a regular conrod wrecker !), according to Geoff's son. |

"Future British Saloon Car Champion Bill McGovern’s 1963 Cooper S after he went off at Paddock Hill bend at Brands Hatch in 1965. The stranded Mini behind belonged to Chris Montague in his first BSCC race."
Sporting Minis:- https://www.facebook.com/thesporting...type=3&theater    The Ilford Films Trophy - Race of Champions Meeting Brands Hatch Circuit, Kent, Great-Britain Date: 13/3/1965 "....two spectacular accidents at Paddock Bend, at the same time but unconnected. Chris Montague (Mini Cooper) slewed backwards into the ditch, but Bill McGovern bounced his Mini on its roof and was extricated unhurt by Montague." http://touringcarracing.net/Races/19...tch%20RoC.html |
