Has anybody got any ideas? I heard is is still alive in Europe somewhere.

This one?
http://mountgreen.co.uk/imageLibrary/Jeff_69.jpg I remember having the Corgi Junior toy version of that when I was a kid! https://www.recovertoy.com/albums/Co...unior_Mini.jpg It would be interesting to see the original turn up if it does still exist- Slightly O/T, but I think I read somewhere the Britsh Vita mid-engined V8 Mini from the 60's was rediscovered recently? |

I met up with Jeff in the Gavin Wills pit at Donington just a fortnight ago during the European F3 Open. He helps as a technical consultant for the team. He seemed very well and in good form whilst we swopped memories of the good old days. He does admit to being a fan of the warmer climes.

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...112642&page=11 Back to the supercharged Mini. I saw and admired it at Brunton and Gurston hill climbs. Lost its bonnet on one occasion, I seem to recall. |
