Thanks a lot, Bob, as a student I was fascinated by the Minor. The last pic is really great, just fantastic.
Let me try for once: rbs, do you think you can recognize the red car? |

Surely the Minor must be one of Nic Mann's creations?
And going back to B Bira, his manager was Prince Chula wasn't he? I read the books many years ago. I think Bira was alluded to on A Question of Sport last week when they referred to Alex Albon as the second Thai GP driver. I can't think of another, am I mistaken?

A nice simple sequence question, and so easy that there are three different answers, all logical, and easily spotted. How many can you find? Answers on a PM to bauble @ Ten/tenths.

I am surprised you missed the third sequence, you of all people. And not even quite correct. Last edited by bauble; 11 Nov 2019 at 19:39. |

Funnily enough, seeing Gérard's interest in Morris Minors I sent him details and videos of Nicks 600bhp Rover V8 turbo with Nitrous powered car from back when I knew him. Posted in the tea break thread so as not to detract from the photos here. Also some info on a subsequent project, his 'Mannic' 4WD clubmans car, fitted with a turbocharged BDT and helped along with a helicopter sourced turbine to reduce turbo lag!
Fascinating cars both. Posted here: https://tentenths.com/forum/showpost...postcount=5627 |

The Morris Minor is owned and raced by Craig Percy in the CSCC's Special Saloon car series . Built by Chris Isaacs Racing the Moggy is based on a 1968 Police Car and is powered by a 6.3 litre Chevrolet V8 engine .

The fascination with Morris Minors reminded me of this sequence from the Classic; Perhaps not my most brilliant of efforts, but it might please Gerry Mo.
