In the 1980's Malltese racer Joe Anastasi, took a fibreglass mould off the shell of his purple Minisprint racer (see earlier posts) which he used for the

Since you have put a question mark on the end. Yes it is Cedric Bell.

Another album available: Minis at 1966 Gaisberg Hillclimb (between Salzburg and Salzburgring GP track)
First season of Niki Laudas later career starter Mini - 932GYE - then driven by local "touring car hero" Fritz Baumgartner for Team ÖASC Vienna
Number #26 seems to be Hermann v. Richthofen - grandnephew of famous Manfred v. Richthofen (aka "The Red Baron")

Nice coincidences happening - during my research about the Austrian Mini-race scene in the 60ies I discovered and contacted Fritz Baumgartner's former race mechanic, whom I will have a chat with once it is save to do so again.
Second coincidence, rummaging through old entry lists I noticed two not so common names that sounded somehow familar. Turns out that one of the Gaisberg racers is a work colleague's dad (on Mini Cooper S) and the other my best-man's uncle (in a Steyr-Puch 650TR)

The Ilford Films Trophy - Race of Champions Meeting
Brands Hatch Circuit, Kent, Great-Britain
Date: 13/3/1965
"....two spectacular accidents at Paddock Bend, at the same time but unconnected. Chris Montague (Mini Cooper) slewed backwards into the ditch, but Bill McGovern bounced his Mini on its roof and was extricated unhurt by Montague."

That’s just how so many of our prized Ss ended up looking in the 70s! Battered old war horses, mine was just the same. You can understand why so many ended up on the scrap heap. In fact I did have to look twice at the orange one in that photo!
