Mini Sports Sedans - Where are they Now

[coatesie]

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.

That's Awesome, can't say I can ever remember seeing or reading about a Mini Sprint being raced here. Great find, I am sure you will do it justice

Thanks

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 what engine its running? Is it still 12A powered?
Spoke to Paul about it a while ago when I interviewed him for the book. He laughed and said it was a point and shoot race car. Would love to see some pics of the car as it is today. Any chance of getting some photos?
