There was avery strong Mini - 7, group, started in the early 1970's by Reg Cook and a few others [ I was at the inagural meeting to get Mini 7 as a class off the ground ], Reg went on to race Datsun 1200's and bigger stuff, he built the first rollbar for my Austin-Healey Sprite in 1975 so I could go Hillclimbing and Sprintng.
Roger, could either of these be the car you're referring to with the cut down roof? These are Tony Gilbertsons and Frank Hamlins cars which raced late 1960s.
