The car moved less than 10miles from where it had been first built. I'll see if I can dig out the picture.

Didn't somebody else make a replica or am I just imagining that?

There was a replica around of Dave Vizards Mini racer but not so sure about Clive Trickey's.

I remember Ron Graham when he was involved in the UK Mini scene and stationed over here with the USAF.
He still had KTR223E back in May and posted this below during the Can-Am Mini Challenge at Mid Ohio:-

"Looks like this is the event to be at! Wish I could have the Clive Trickey (KTR223E) mini there. I haven’t fired it up in over 12 years. I need to get it out of the back of the garage and do something with it. Doesn’t do them any good just sitting there. Last time I raced it was in 1994 in England. Last autocross was in 1997. I tagged it for the street in 2000. Drove it a few times and then put it away. Best wishes to all that attend this mile stone in Mini history."

"I didn’t mention that I bought my first mini (a 62) in 1967 and drove it my senior year of high school. Joined the USAF in 1977 so I could go to England. Was there twice for a total of 10 years. I couldn’t guess how many I’ve owned. Before my first trip to England, I had owned 9 minis. When I retired in 94 I brought 7 minis back with me. The only one I still have is the Trickey Mini."

In 1973, I was stationed in England (Air Force) and I raced a 998 Mini in Mini Miglia. .. had a great time. Since coming back to the US, I’ve had 4 Classic Minis – the best was my ’64 Cooper ‘S’ with a 1275cc engine (original engine was a 1070cc).. The worst was the last one I had was one that was Vin tagged as a 1975, but was in fact an 1988 – what a pig! They mucked around with the suspension, increased the wheels to 12″ and put smog stuff on it. I tried to retrofit it, but it was just too much work, so I sold it and bought a Corvair (also a fun car, but that’s another story)..

You probably raced against my mini. Malcom Quickfall owned and raced it then (orange when he had it). I bought it from him in 1985. I restored it back to the way Trickey had it. I autocrossed here in states from 1986-90. Took it back to UK in 1990(Upper Heyford) raced mini miglia 93 & 94. In 94 miglia went from 998 to 1300cc. I ran 29 races finishing 27, including one race on Belgium Grand Prix cercuit.

Forgot to mention, the first time Clive Trickey drove the mini I have was 47 years ago today. Also my birthday.

"The pride and joy of Ron's collection is the real Clive Trickey Mini. Ron not only owns it, but he's autocrossed it. He's raced it. And he's gathered more information on the car and Clive than you'd believe is possible. And it is all fascinating. There are very few Minis around with this much history, and the man leaning on the car has documented it all !"

The Trickey Mini at Beaulieu

Quick heads-up :

THE BOOKING PAGE WILL OPEN VERY SOON!

(ie at weekend or very soon after...)

Great stuff Pete!! Do we keep an eye on this thread for the link to the booking page or the Javelin homepage?

I'll post a sticky up with a link to the booking page when it goes live.

There will also be a dedicated info page like last year.

Link to follow.

Sorry for the delay in getting the live booking page open, we're working on it! Any day soon, promise!!

Anyone thinking of lording it in a swanky B&B (like the lightweight Scottish contingent ) (well coming to Lincolnshire is like going on a Mediterranean holiday for them) may want to think about booking their digs sooner than later if they want a chance of getting any! Details of local digs are on the Blyton Park website.

Great news pete. Cant wait now.

Just to confirm, the hardcore Scottish contingent will be under canvas as before.
We are stockign up on Factor 80 whilst the prices are low. We need it for these trips near the equator, and we do like to mind the pennies!
There are even Rumours of a Mk1 mini making an appearance...... Though I've seen the car, and I'm not holding my breath at this stage!

It'll be great to see you again Al!

you will please to know that mark and pete have ordered 5 billion midges, just so you boys feel at home!

5 Billion?

You calling us soft?

We'll also have some factor 50 sun block on tap in the club house. By all accounts The Mini Works will be back with more cars and Simon will no doubt be polishing his helmet in readiness.

Ah yes, the very rare 'End' model offered by Bell helmets for just over a fortnight in the Spring of '63?



Al

I thought someone was gonna fire him out of a cannon when I saw him with that.

It's alright, we can say what we want, he doesn't read the forum. (hopefully!!)

Sorry there's no booking page up as yet, down to Javelin I'm afraid. Just don't go spending all your track money on mince pies!
