On show at the McRae Rally Challenge, Colin's Autotest Mini, think its a recreation, 60s number plate with mk1 rear lights and pretend door hinges on a MK3 shell

But what an awesome day for us rally fans, Jimmy and Alistair McRae, Hannu Mikkola, Stig Blomqvist, Kris Meeke, Gordon Shedden, well worth the trip up, no action pics but plenty in the paddock (forgot my camera, these are with my iphone) my lad getting his pic took with the stars, all very happy to have a pic taken

The car came from the Bristol area and was used very successfully by a chap called Steve Conner . I used to compete against it in the late 70s ,lightweight early shell and S engine !
