1980 / 90's Mini Racing Photos

When I photographed it it carried the Belgian National Racing Yellow colour. What does it look now?

I saw the Robinson/Blackney Unipower at my very first race, aged only 13, the 1000km Nürburgring 1970. I unfortunatly did not take my old Agfa Isolette with me. Only the second race, the 6h touring cars that year I made some rather bad pics with it.

The Mini Se7en Racing Club built a Mini 7 from scratch for a raffle.

More details below of the Mini 7 Race Car Build @ Mini 40 Silverstone 1999, as organised by my brother Steve Bell for the Mini Se7en Racing Club.

Thanks,
I think that was when Roland Petit had the car and ran it in a few races.
Do you have any pictures of the Blankley/Robinson car by any chance?
Many thanks
Gary

No, I'm afraid I haven't. You see, I was 13 years old and this was my first race altogether as a spectator. I had an old camera from my uncle, an Agfa Isolette ( that was probably older than myself https://www.flickr.com/photos/alf_sigaro/1799585165) but I did not take it to the Ring. Only on my second visit I took it with me. The photos weren't good but still a historic artefact now: http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/p%201 ... gring.html

I have gone through all my pictures on my PC. I have found one of the Robinson-Unipower but it is not one that I shot. Do not know who made it.

Here is a well known Irish Marcos, that a mate & I rebuilt over a few weeks in the winter of 97/ 98, when we lifted the chequer plate bolted on to the floor pans the car was virtually in 2 halves so we stripped the shell, hung it upside down from the roof beams of an industrial unit & repaired the shell.
When I 1st looked at the car with a view to getting it to handle & drive well it had RWD Escort wheel fitted.
This photo is from Fermoy hillclimb in 98, a round of the dunlop hillclimb championship.
The other 2 photos of the rear of the car are from the late sixties IIRC
