Yes it was.
Says that in -74 they bought 4 complete engines from Richard Longman who delivered them personally and stayed a whole month to help them out making the mini's doing thier absolute best.

I think this is Brands 6 Hours 1962, John Whitmore and Bill Blydenstein. If you look through the garage you can make out the spectator parking on South Bank.
Also is that Ken Tyrrell in the V-Neck and tie?

Is that a rapido fuel tank filling gadget on the rear filler neck?

Yup, quite a thing that filler arrangement isn't it, and the quick lift frame!
Yes Tyrrell in the jumper. The grey car behind the Britax is Peter Lague, quite some peddler in his time!

Not quite as effective as they might have hoped though Pete...judging by the puddles of fuel in both of these pictures
