Wrong engine.

Looking at the other pictures available now it's for sale it might not be an S shell, what I would be doing is trying to find the racing history with period photos, that's where the value is, very common for a new shell to be bought to be turned in a racer with what ever set of badges you wanted (shell would have come as a spare part so no chassis number) I'm sure you will get strong money for it

It would be nice kept period like that, I love the fuel breather pipes!

I've seen some rally minis with fuel breathers like that. The underneath ones would get blocked on muddy 'whites' so that where they ended up.

I'm having lunch with Barrie 'Whizzo' Williams next Friday. Do you want me to ask him if he remembers the car and if he has any details or photos? If you have any more details of who owned it and for whom he would have been asked to drive that would help.

cheers for that I am meeting the ex owner on Tuesday to see if we can find some paperwork or photos

[Cooperman]

Barrie doesn't have an email because he doesn't like or have a computer!!!

Let me have all the info you have and I'll ask him next Friday. As he and I are sharing a hotel room at a motorsport event the following weekend I can see what he comes up with.
