Fascinating stuff!
Thanks so very much for posting the photos and articles.
I'm preparing a display of model rallycross cars for 'Race Retro' at Stoneleigh in February 2015 and have a suitable Mini Clubman kit in 1/43 scale - I'll start making the kit up today so this remarkable piece of rallycross history will be included in my display. Timing is everything!!
Thanks again, cheers, Steve
