Mini Sprint in action

Post by Simon776 »

This is something you don't see very often, a Sprint competing which is in itself a rarity - but on a rally :!: :shock:

There was a Sprint active (and successful) in central southern (stage) rallies about 1969. Not the one in the earlier photo. I have one photo somewhere of it on the Culham Stages, probably 69 because Culham was first used as a stage (the last stage) on the 68 RAC (which included driving into an empty hangar round a coned hairpin and back out).
Yes, the Culham nuclear laboratory (Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory?), although the central bit was fenced off by then.
