All these great rally Mini shots were taken by my friend John Phillips who recently re-discovered and scanned them from his personal motorsport photo archive, after I asked if he had any old Mini racing/rally pics from the 1960/70's.....for those that may have missed them, I recently posted his Mini circuit racing photos here:-
1960 / 70's Mini Racing Photos: (scroll down & following pages)

(I will ask John if he has anymore from his Mini motorsport archive that he can share with us....I know he also has a lot of period 'non-Mini' motorsport pics that may be of interest?)

In the meantime here are some similar period Mini rally photos I found on the internet a while back, unfortunately I don't know who to credit for taking them.

Fantastic photos - always interesting to see early cars when they were a few years into an active life, rather than factory fresh.

Tramps nightclub in Worcester, not far from Cheltenham, is still going strong (or so I believe, it may be a year or two since I’ve been in...).
