Some old photos from a 'Treasure Hunt' event I organised back in September 1981 for the original Surrey/Sussex region of Ray Holmans 'Mini Cooper Club.' The photos are from the mid-point of the run parked up at Outwood Windmill, Surrey and at the finish at the 'Hand in Hand' pub on top of Boxhill, Surrey. I remember one of the 'treasure' items required to be collected was a hard boiled egg, so some members who had managed to obtain an egg (not that easy on a Sunday in 1981 England) were unsuccessfully trying to boil them using their hot radiators or exhaust manifolds....the eventual winner (my brother Steve navigating with his then girlfriend driving) managed to drop in on a local resident who agreed to hard boil an egg for them! Despite some suspicions from other competitors at the time the result was not 'fixed' for close family members! We also arrived at the pub, hungry after a long afternoon of Mini driving fun and getting lost on narrow twisty country lanes, only to find the pub did not serve any food on Sunday evenings.....only packets of crisps.

The white '65 Mk1 S with Weller wheels (next to my red Mk3) had been recently restored by its long time owner 'Nick' but appears to be currently on sorn so I guess it may still exist. (The green Renault imposter was Ray Holmans company car as his Mk1/2 Mini Cooper was being restored/reshelled into a new Mk3 shell).
