hi my friend is properly looking for a mini his mate had, apparently last known to be white does anyone know of it? Steve asked on the rally forum;
 
Rally Friends .
I'm, looking for any information as to the whereabouts of a Rally Car last used in the 80's
DHF 141 E Mini Coopers S, It was Tartan Red with a White roof.
Im hoping its tucked up in a barn somewhere in the North Wales area...

Thanks in anticipation...

Steve..

Statutory Off Road Notification, or SORN as is known came into effect as at 31st January 1998.

 

One of many sources of the information:-

You don't need SORN if the vehicle was already off road before the sorn start date in 1998.

I think I recall this car - Colin Howells used to rally it in the 1970's? It wasn't actually an S 'only' a red/white S spec Austin Mini.
