I remember this Mini-Imp well and recently discovered this thread with some photos on the Ten Tenths Forum:-

Monty Guildford's Mini racer fitted with an Imp engine, he finished it in 1973 after an 18 month build.
The engine was built and tuned by George Bevan but the gear box was designed by my Monty and built by Peter Wise of Goodland engineering of Tonbridge Kent. The crank was a one off. Note also the exhaust coming out of the nearside A panel!

Is that the exhaust exiting out the A panel? The car looks fantastic.
