Robin Bastable - Mini racer

Post by BigWig »

Bit of a long shot, but...

I was wondering if anybody knows of a Mini racer who competed in the 70s by the name of Robin Bastable? He was from the Sparkford area of Somerset I believe. He raced against the likes of Chris Tyrrel and Brian Cutting.

I am looking to contact him about a car he used to own.

You have probably seen this link below (Thruxton Oct 12th 1975) but maybe helps with a few more background details like his entrant/town, etc :-

Great, thank you mab. I did find a similar programme and also tried to look up Keith Clements Auto albeit without any luck. Guess he stopped trading years ago.

Thanks Thorp, I was certain it was, as he is also involved in racing bikes. But he is another Robin Bastable from the same area..!
