What Goodwood wants Goodwood has! While we are here, do you remember the Peugeot 806 seen at Spa and built by the excellent team Kronos?
http://www.endurance-classic.com/fr/...heures-de-spa/ A typical belgian story because the drivers were Flamish, Wallon and Bruxellois! Des garçons qui ont la frite! 1995 may be? |

(Presumably the one entered for Goodwood being a Countryman will be the model without the wood?) |

I wonder if the wood was an extra cost or what they now call a 'no cost delete option'? I remember both versions being available at the same time back in the day. |

Do you think they will invite some diesels in the coming years?

I don't remember a Mini Estate without the wood on the side. We had a van converted with windows in, but it definitely started life as a van not an estate.

Having just looked at a picture from the site that John has linked to, it does jog my memory and I can remember them back then.
In fact, thinking about it, I seem to recall that there is a video on Youtube where one was used to be a camera car on a track to film a competition car in action on a track - can't remember either the track or the car in question. |

HRSR/HSCC Historic Touring Cars has almost exactly that wording excluding 2+2 and estate cars/vans in it's regulations. Back in the late 50s/early60s there was an Austin A30 or A35 pick-up raced in the north at Croft, Full Sutton, Ouston, etc. plus hillclimbs at Catterick Garison. The driver was well known here up north but I've forgotten his name! The car still exists and is regularly displayed at the Croft Nostalgia meeting in August. I've talked to it's present owner several times. Can't find a pic on the interweb unfortunately. |

Didn't he subsequently race a Cortina, either GT or Lotus? |

The Clubman was interesting because its roof was depressed by air pressure to the rear. A perfect demonstration of the aerodynamics and was inspiration for the TWR Volvos. *Not my research, I recall reading about it in C&CC.

Yes, Jimmy Blumer. I don't remember him racing Cortinas but MkI or MkII Jags come to mind and sports racing cars of different types.

In 1962 he shared an Equipe Endeavour Jaguar Mk2 with Mike Parkes to win the Motor Six Hours & then in 1963 he came fifth overall in the BSCC with an Alan Andrews Racing Cortina GT. As you say, he also raced various sports cars.
