The Roaring Season

Took these photos of an M.E.R at the McLaren festival, Hampton Downes. Not sure if it is the same car.

Just giving this another bump to see if there are any fresh leads or pics for this car. The current paint scheme is from AC Delco sponsorship. Original colour for the car is similar to the Austin Horizon Blue colour. Then lime green. Then Orange. the car must have run with the large flares in both ...

Hi there, pretty sure that the Ex Huxford v8 escort is in Wellington and being repaired after an incident at Manfield a few years ago. It's in good hands.

Thanks, Steve. If he has a look at the photos on page one, hopefully he may recognise some details in the car. The owner has started to make contact with some of the people on the entry list above as he already knows quite a few of them. These things take time though. Fingers crossed the trail ...

a40b.jpg Is this the same A40 as shown on page 3. There seems to be quite a few well modified A40 scattered around this site but never any info on them. If not does anyone have pictures of the zephyr/A40 when it was raced please? I have a Mk1 A40 I'm building now and all these old race ones ...

WOW, thats awesome info!! We didn't know when it was last raced. This will help fill a small gap. Lots of familiar names on there!

Just letting you know that the original 850 engine is machined and waiting for assembly once the body is done. All the original bits will be pieced back together. We are still hoping for pics or info on who ran it and the colour schemes that were used. This will dictate how it finally ends up ...

Just giving this another bump to see if there is any new interest.

Found this and thought it would fit in this thread just nicely!

I have made it thru to the start of the Manfield footage, and so far its probably the most entertaining racing thats been on my telly for a long time..... you can tell that the drivers actually have to work at getting the cars around the ...

Another thread I found tonight. The mini racing australia link doesn't seem to work for me though.

Loving the White Austin Rover Clubman #15 and the red Bob Jane Clubman #98. They just look so right to me.

Great photos, Thanks!

That Andrew Nicole Mini clubman looks LHD but the wiper is on the RHS???

Awsome, thanks Ian.

I care! I have been keeping an eye out for info on the Aussie superminis since there was an article in Fast fours and Rotaries in about 1992/3 ( when they were worth reading! ). More recently we've been getting your Mini mag that has articles on them. They are all very cool minis with all sorts of ...

Hi, I was wondering if the large flares that these cars use are still made and available ex Aussie??

We have an ex aus super mini that races in classics here that has them on. They look fantastic!

Just giving this a bump to see if anyone has had any thoughts about it. Also in case there are any new members that may have some ideas.

Thank you for all contributions so far, they have been very helpful.

Heres a random pic to say thanks...

I noticed that there was a Mini in the field. This fascinates me and I was wondering if anybody had some info on it. Tony Palmer mentions a Mini Special driven by Lance Evans.
