Couple of nice period photos of Mini racer Simon Ridge in the early days at Brands Hatch (around 1966-67) when he was running his own Free Formula car and before the heady days of sponsorship! He later drove for Automex & D J Bond.

It started life as a 1961 mini, fibreglass roof, doors and boot lid, it also had a beam rear axel or lightweight rear end, it ran 13 or 14inch rims in its hey day with girling brakes. I still have the one body tag that on the body, the baulk head has been cut for twin webbers or some form of injection, but original photos show the front was cut for either front mounted carbs or large radiator. It also has vents cut into the A panels which look quite unique and some of the photos in the post are similar.
Ill load photos when i figure out how but if anyone can remember a mini matching or even siomilar to this is would be great.
The colours were green, yellow and black according to the paint being stripped back.
many thanks

I would like to restore this mini back to some of its former glory so any info or historic parts would be great.
thanks
