Early 1990's (I think) in paddock photos of my late brother Steve Bell (Wood & Pickett sponsored) and his then team mate Mickey Bray (also sadly no longer with us).

I believe I now own the #40 car?

The late Barry Reece - Special Saloon Mini 850.
(Photos: Chris Higginbotham)





"Barry Reece started his racing career in 1969. He raced for many years a Mini 850 Special Saloon car, and obtained over 50 class or outright wins in regional events near his South Wales. Successes included several class wins in the BRSCC South-Western Championships as well as two Welsh 850 Championships at Llandow. 1980 marked his best season, driving a Maguire Mini, Reece won the BARC Wendy Wools 1000 Special Saloon Car Championship outright and also took his class once again in the BRSCC South-Western series at Castle Combe. In 1981 he scored 14 Special Saloon wins, using an engine built up by himself and his brother Phil Reece as mechanic, then he passed to the Maguire "Stiletto" 850. In 1982 he was the winner of the Wendy Wools 1000 Special Saloon Championship driving the Isis-Forklifts Maguire 850 Californian Hartwell."
