Over the last two weekends the International Piper Series race meeting was held at Zwartkops and at Kyalami here in Johannesburg South Africa. There were a few Minis that raced in the pre '66 Legends event. Pics of the two meetings below.

Nice shots GP thanks for sharing.
The rear tow strap on the OEW car looks a bit of an after thought!

How come lightweight wide cars are allowed in pre '66 ? It's a shame we don't have a similar series up and running over here, App K/Class D is all well and good but it'd be nice to see (and hear !) Gp5 in this country !

Pete, the Minisprint did not race in the pre-66 class. It was at the track, but in he spectator area. I don't think it would be allowed to compete in the pre-66 series.
