Re: Help wanted with previous car owner

Boys you are correct, I believe it may be one of Laurie's cars. I know Brian and its not his. I have one of Brian's old Cooper S's in the garage. Craig doesn't know of them either. The previous owner thought it was one of Laurie's but the trail ends there. Thought they may be able to shed some light ...

Help wanted with previous car owner

Guys I have an old sports sedan mini and am trying to locate the previous owners so I can put together a history for cams COD. One of the owners was Phillip (Phil) Hudson and the other was David Jones. Apparently Jones used to race a torana sports sedan at some stage before getting into the mini ...

Re: Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

Hi all, Good news The Gulson/Hume Mini sports sedan that I mentioned earlier in the thread still exists.!!!! I spoke to it's current owner the other day. It won't be on the track any time soon. He started sourcing some bits to get it going, and painted it, but then lost interest. Cheers Any idea ...

Re: Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

Here is one I recently found and will restore to race in the new East Coast Series. Its called the Minisprint and was in a shed since 1974 following a minor accident at Surfers Paradise. The original builder/owner still had the car under tarps in the shed. http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/ac118 ...

Re: Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

Couldn't believe it. Spoke to Phil as I have always known his car to be blue with red detailing but he said he painted it black with flames on it just before he sold it......low and behold there is a pic of it in the black on page 2.

Re: Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

Why is it the car ran in App J in the '90s but can't now? Is it because you've returned it to Group C spec? Yes the car is back in Group C trim. It could be re-converted to group N specs but it means changing a lot of things, including engine, wheels and slicks, removing all decals and some are ...

Re: Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

Will ask Phil for any pics he has as a starter. Was pale blue clubman sports sedan with xflow head. Had some thin red stripes down the side and over the flares. I do get the red one out a fair bit. I live in Brisbane and regularly take it to Lakeside for a punt. I will be at MRA event in June 30th ...

Re: Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

Guys does anyone have any pics of a qld mini that was raced by Phil Swinton. It set many records and is still the fastest mini around lakeside at a 58sec run. Also thought I would post a pic of my own Grp C mini. While technically not a sports sedan, has been a racer for many years and ran Sports ...
