Have you tried posting your pics and asking on the Mini 7 club forum, I'm sure someone will be able to help? (You would need to join the Supporters Club £20 per year but it is worth the cost)

Bob Sollis maybe or, had he not started in Mini7s then?

pretty sure it wasnt sollis. this bloke didnt do much racing, had the car built, raced it for a bit and then packed it in. the car was purple one season before hand though

and yeah, tweed. everyone knows its the most fire retardant material

Being pure wool, it's a lot better than most materials.
