Found some where on the net, maybe someone knows this picture.

I like the comprehensive tool kit - One wrench and three different hammers!

Trev's Vita Mini's probably hidden behind the Splitty!

Wooding stickers on the car.
Mini from Austria ?

I can't find Schnabel in any of the lists for the 68 European Championship.

Try Johann Schnabl, lots of results turn up, here's just one with the car number 16, 1969 ETCC Preis von Wien, Flugplatz Aspern, Vienna, Austria

Schnabl had his own race team which carried on into the 1970's with a Mini Cooper and a Ford Escort

Entry list from same race shows Harry Ratcliffe driving the VITA Mini (Car 45)

Well found!

I didn't look at the 69 list as I didn't think that Vita ran in 69, but they did do "selected races".

Yes it's Austria, that car ended up as a Mk2, got some pics somewhere.

Thanks guys so you see what an picture can do to us.
Not just a static picture from a Mk1 but with action aswell

I like that kind of periodic pictures, that's why I did show it to you.

Thanks Kees, I always prefer pictures that depict people than cars. A picture of a car means very little to me, but the one above speaks like a book.

This one perhaps? Also from 1969.

No not that one Simon, though its possibly the same hillcimb! Nice shot though! Bosch Racing Team by all accounts, that was quite a big name to have on your car even in those days!

Close one eye & half cover the other one & it could Shelsley Walsh !!!!

yes a nice period snap 'in the paddock'

Not unless you love Abba and meatballs!

Comfort Racing were a Swedish outfit, used all Longman's bits, but then who didn't in the 70s??

i was hoping someone would get the joke

people who live on the east coast of Yorkshire call people who live in west Yorkshire 'comfets'

for the reason that many of them have static caravans in the holiday parks and in the early 1990s (when I was young) would arrive enmass every weekend in as they had 'comfet weekend'
