Thanks I have seen that one but .... I prefer the British one. It's more simple, more my kind of style. But thanks for pointing it to me.

Here’s what I strongly suspect is that ex Chris Montague Downton Cooper I sold last year towing his race car in 1965.

"A very rare photo of Mick Hill racing a Mini. Taken at a damp Croft chicane during 1966 Mick is lying 3rd in this group ( No.33 ). The lead Anglia not yet identified but the 2nd place Mini is believed to be Stuart Whitehead and the Anglia at the rear is Dave Willars. Mick`s early racing wasn't a success with two engine failures in only 6 races in the Mini."

Mick Hill (1944 - 2014) - Cars & Career overview:-
"Not only a prolific race winner but equally well known as the builder of some the most iconic modified saloons of that generation".
