Interesting to note the first Mini Se7en race for 850cc Minis in 1966 was not won outright by an 850 Mini 7 but by an extra Mini added to the race which was a 1-litre Mini Cooper driven by Terry Harmer. Bob Fox who came second in his 850 Mini Se7en did not know that he had won after all until later, although the race did not count towards the championship!

Interesting storage, May need a bit of work after that?
Would be great to see it fitted in a period shell.
