Bathurst 500 miler in 1963. No outright wins but we see lots of Minis and a terrific tussle between a Mini Minor and a VW Beetle, I won`t spoil what happens but suffice to say that the Mini driver ends up as a hero and crowd favourite, enjoy -

Ahh the lengendary Bathurst Mount Panorama. Bit of history. Was known as the Armstrong 500 in 1963
In 1966 Morris Coopers filled the first nine places of the Gallagher 500 at Mount Panorama. It would have been all top 10 places but the fastest Mini in Australia, the Broadspeed GTS failed to finish.
Have not been for a few years but was always a great weekend.

I posted the said race where the first 9 places were Minis a few years ago, it`s on here somewhere.
