OCX 732F must be a Huddersfield registration would be interested to know more about the car ?

Three page spread on Blyton in this month's 'Mini Magazine'!

2 page's in Mini World, both good reports.

I look forward to seeing them.

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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