Some photos of the late Chris Tyrrell (Mini Se7en Champion in 1974, 1986 and 1987) - with beard/white T-shirt - and his Mini Seven. I think the Leyland Mini Challenge sticker on the rear side panel says 1978. Chris was always a front runner and produced many of the leading Mini race engines and cylinder heads at the time from his small workshop in Leatherhead, Surrey.

Excellent stuff, thanks for posting Chris was quite a character (and actually did me a head for my Mini Se7en).
Before my eyes had got to the back of the drivers door in the first picture I know whose car it was!

I second Vivs thanks. Chris was indeed a character. M7 seemed to collect its fair share of characters back then. A lot of us racing on very little money, but having tremendous fun. Happy days indeed.

Photo above of Chris Tyrrell after one of his many wins in Mini 7. My brother Steve Bell became his race mechanic in his later years of Mini 7 and also during Chris's Metro Challenge seasons. Steve went on to be a Mini Seven Champion himself in 1997 and came close to being a Mini Miglia Champion....

Some more photos of Chris here in the '1980's Mini Racing' thread links:-

Probably The 1275GT Mini Challenge is a popular car racing series that takes place in the United Kingdom. It is contested by Mini 1000 and 1275 GT cars and is sponsored by Kwik Fit. The series is designed to be an exciting and thrilling race for drivers and spectators alike and tests the drivers' skill and endurance. The cars involved in the races are specially designed and equipped to compete in the challenging and thrilling conditions of the race. The 1275GT Mini Challenge is a great way to experience the thrill of car racing and the excitement of competing against other drivers.
