I was down at Owens Fabrication on Monday and lucky enough to see the 'surprise' they're building for this event. I can't wait to see it out on the track next week :)

60 classic Minis will race head to head in the Betty Richmond Trophy to celebrate 60 years of the famous motoring marque; and punching well above its weight will be a 1964 Austin Mini Countryman complete with wood trim. Yes, you heard it right, a Mini woody estate… in a Mini race… at Goodwood!

The full story is coming soon but in the meantime feast your eyes on these fantastic images:-

"From rotting shell to racer in four months: 1964 Mini Countryman saved from the scrapheap and transformed into a classic competition car packing more performance than a Golf GTI"

 

• This 60s Mini Countryman was a rotting shell at the start of the project
• It's since been modified into a fully-fledged period racer with a roll cage
• It's the only estate model ever built to 'Appendix K' racing specification
• With 130bhp and a weight of 630kg, it has more performance per tonne than a brand new Volkswagen Golf GTI hot hatch

To the untrained eye this might look like a well-kept classic Mini estate, but lurking underneath is a highly-tuned race car that's due to hit the track for the first time this month. The 1964 Austin Mini Countryman - not a Traveller - has been saved from the scrapheap, thanks to one enthusiast who has turned it into the ideal classic competition car:-

The racing in The Betty Richmond Trophy was unbelievably close with Nick Swift and Nick Padmore swapping the lead once or twice a lap absolutely amazing seeing 30 minis on the track at one time.
