One for the Rally Historians Gold Mini BTX111B

[mk1]

Does anyone have any info on a Gold Mini BTX111B owned and rallied by Norman Harvey
from 64-67. It was a Downton prepared car & I am lead to believe it won the Manx rally in 67.

Any further info or pics would be very much appreciated.

More to follow.

I've got plenty of pictures of it on the Monte and several other rallies. There's footage of it on Pathe, Steve E or Simon W will know more about the car/driver , I think I've seen a period 'for sale' ad for it aswell.

There was a gold monte mini on the 2004 Minis to Monte event. Robert Clayson may have pictures from the event and record of entries and I'll check my old pictures.

Does anyone recall a later Mini he may have had? Dark metallic red with grey metallic roof. 1968?

I think he had a rallycross car late on, I also seem to remember him circuit racing the odd time?

Just to be clear.

I am only looking for history & info on this car for the owner of 15 years.

It is NOT for sale.

Tony Mason mentions co driving for him in this car in his recent book. I'm sure I've got more shots of this car, I'll have a dig.
