Nice one Stu, I have that one. The one I can’t find is the 1965 Snetterton 500!

Great grid for that ‘64 Brands race though

From 'Sporting Minis' :-
Very sad to hear about the passing of Jon Mowatt (1945-2021). Mini racer in the late 60s and flying the flag for the Mini in the British Saloon Car Championship in the 70s. RIP

While we are at it:
Tony Dron, not so well known driving Minis, but very successful in Dolomite Sprints and the Broadspeed Group 2 Jaguars passed away recently.

But he drove a BMH-Mini in the '96 24h Nürburgring.

British Movietone - Silverstone International Trophy. (17 May 1962)
"Competitors in the Production Touring Race included Anita Taylor (Ford Anglia), Christabel Carlisle (Austin Cooper), Elizabeth Jones, also in a "Mini", and Graham Hill (Jaguar), who won the race at an average of 85. The big event of the day was the Silverstone International Trophy. And it was Graham Hill again, this time in the BRM. In one of the most daring performances of his career, he passed the flag in just under 100."
