Sad to hear Frank has passed away. Amazing talent - ran Hamlin and Charles tuning in Seaview - which was like the Downton of New Zealand for Mini people. Amazing driver who won his class at Nurburgring in the early 60's. He raced with Don Moore who was the original man to beat in Mini racing and tuning. He may have worked for Moore? Frank had a huge silver plate he got from Nurburgring.
That Minisprint is still around - but the reg number went on one of the PDL Minis when Robert Stewart bought the sprint from Frank to use the mechanicals in a Group 2 car.
I hear there is a memorial service which perhaps someone could post the time and place here.
