Minis and Imps

[SteveG]

The car now. Restoration nearly finished. Owned by Donn Anderson in 65/66 then Peter Sharp. Just trying to look into history. Richard Pugh owned from 67-69 and raced it around the country. He painted it all white with sponsors on and then all red before selling to Barbara Lang who used to take it to the port road drags and it did quite well clocking 114mph over qtr mile. I'd be interested if anyone has photos. I'm told it was in a support race for 68 Puke Grand Prix and 68 Levin Grand Prix among others. Driver then would have been Richard Pugh. Richard fitted a 1275 S motor in 67'. The car is now back to the original 1071cc.
