Within two months of this race I believe Phil Winter was killed on the Isle of Man.
During practice did he have a problem with his 1300 BDA engine, which use to be quite reliable in his Special Saloon Mini. He only used this unit to enter the up-to 1300 class, I imagine he was thinking the Escort would be just as quick as the 1840 Hart engine the car came with, no chance.
