The cutting is from Marcus Pye's Club Legends, and it says the car ended up being shipped to New Zealand. There was a V8 Minor which raced here, but it wasn't that one. The NZ one was actually a Morris Minor body mounted on a shortened Ferrari GP Super Squalo chassis.

Does anyone know anything about the Bennion car, and what may have happened to it?
you could check AtlasF1 where I am sure this has been discussed...
