BX in the reg number says it was originally registered in Carmarthenshire, South Wales in 1964, if it is its original registration.

Alex, there is an excellent Motoring News clipping there too, with Will Sparrow from the WNX700H projects thread in 3rd position too,

Not too sure about "car" though. Registration number, yes.

Brian Dennis is still competitive, have competed against him in that car over the Epynt stages in recent years, my driver borrowed the car, 8 port with webbers, when theirs broke down before the start, very nice gent, very quick driver as well! I think you will find that the 'car' is a very well campaigned old stager, so has gone the route of many an old rally car.

I was invited over to Brians house one weekend after competing against him on an event. This Picture, amongst others, hangs in the most amasing trophy room i have ever seen. Brian Dennis is a Mini driving god ;-)
