[lucas1amps]

after some old revolutions, magic wand gear stick and a brake master cylinder to get it to comb e if anyone has one would be much appreciated if you could get in touch 

[pickuptruck1994]

Well it made it mini world action day. Lots of intrest got a few leads on its history which is nice. Now time to get it running nice, as the carb jet broke so had to run it on choke. But still ran ok. The water pump also started leaking but cant complain for a engine that hasnt been run in about 40 years. Time to sort a few things out and get it to some more shows next year.

Best I could find below on the 1970's Duckhams logo after a quick search.....but looks like the sticker on the FG Mini has perhaps been trimmed at same angle as the 'Q'

mab01uk: Top Man! i ow you a pint one day for all your help during my research :)

[mab01uk]

Glad to be of some help to see you save one of the few surviving race Mini's from those times.......the 1970's Free Formula Special Saloons is still my favourite Mini era as I spent much of my youth in the garage and at the race tracks with my brothers working on and watching them racing during the Wendy Wools /Kent Messenger /Forward Trust Special Saloon car championships period while Special Saloon racing was still at its peak.

 

I have also posted details on Ten-Tenths.com to try to find Fred Game but no luck so far......
