Putting this out there in the hope someone can shed some light on the identity of a Special saloon type Mini shell that was built on to a racing Fairthorpe Electron Minor chassis. The Fairthorpe had had a successful club racing history in the hands of John Allan with a 1340/1500cc Ford pre crossflow engine, the car was also used on the road, the reg number was RNJ 957. I saw a magazine article years ago where the Mini was track tested, may have been CCC magazine or something similar and the Fairthorpe base was mentioned. Ring a bell with anyone?
