Peter Manton S surfaced..

Post by mini63 »

The recently surfaced ex-Peter Manton Shell mini. It had been in storage since 1975, along with Peter's trailer and spares package. The car is basically untouched since Peter sold it and will be back on track in the near future.
As interesting is the Australian designed and built Mk2 Austin 1800 ute tow car.

Great to see 'as found' photos, something you very rarely ever see with most of the 60s race and rally cars over here! ;) ;) ;) ;)
