Most people know that AD017s were rallied,Special Tuning modded them, Janspeed did aswell but did you know that Downton made a Twinny ?

Did you know that Ferguson made a single engine 1800 permanent 4WD evaluation car with torque bias transmission and a back end that used Moke prototype/Cooper S diff parts?

Strange but true.......
Fabulous British '60s technology.

...Fords also shipped over 4 Mustangs in the late 60,s for the Ferguson 4 wheel drive treatment... 2 remain..one resides in Ferring, West Sussex..It was/is owned by a Doctor/surgeon who used to display it a charity shows..

A Geordie speaking Italian? Should be an interesting mix!

Not a bad place to be exiled. Great people and atmosphere.

I was there in the 90's, it took me ages to understand one particular colleague.

I've read 'em now and both the Mini World and Mini Mag write ups of Blyton are very good and very complimentary of the forum and website.

Will the veterans of the first event get slightly earlier notification, when the tickets go on sale ?

...Enjoyed that vid ... wow ! she was a looker.. ?!... I was 15 then .. I wonder how old she was and is she still racing cars ???.... foxy52

Anita Taylor was 21 in that photo, I interviewed her today and the article will appear in Mini Magazine in July with lots of great photos.

Unfortunately she went to Blyton on the wrong day but will be there next year she says and I hope reunited with a couple of her cars!

My daughter and I had a go at trying to copy the 'Anita' picture.

[Pete]

Ha, brilliant! I'll send that to her, she'll love it. My interview with Anita will be in next month's Mini Magazine by the way.

[IAIN]

..... I look forward to reading your interview Pete.
