Hello,

Ive recently moved to Sydney Australia and befriended a fellow Mini lover and found out he was 1969 Rhodesian Saloon car Champion, he still has the car which is a 970S. I thought you would find these pictures interesting. As will as this 970S he has another 970 race car and also a 1071S.

I thought Ivan was retiring?!

I think he's got an 8 port as well!

Welcome to Aus!

Beautiful car! The body looks pristine - appears to have no rust, something we rarely escape here in North America

That looks absolutely beautiful!

I would love to hear more as I am particularly interested in the Mini story in Rhodesia having travelled there quite a bit some years ago & having had family out there until they were hounded out by Mugabe's henchmen.

Wipe the dust off, get it road registered and enjoy

Interesting set up with the radiator, whats the story there (I feel another epic MK1 performance thread is about to come along )

Ivan is a top bloke, I could and have spoken to him for hours.

Fantastic history and story of the Glasby family. Bruce in Zim has some stunning minis including a killer 7 port (pics below), a Le Mans Marcos and a factory 1071 Traveller.
