All these great rally Mini shots were taken by my friend John Phillips who recently re-discovered and scanned them from his personal motorsport photo archive, after I asked if he had any old Mini racing/rally pics from the 1960/70's.....for those that may have missed them, I recently posted his Mini circuit racing photos here:-

Here are some similar period Mini rally photos I found on the internet a while back, unfortunately I don't know who to credit for taking them.

There is a photo of a Mini there, red/white, with the registration 605 GGD with the comp number 49. 

I bought that car as a standard 997 Cooper in 1969 and it had a fairly new 1275 engine fitted by the previous owner. I up-rated it to a full-spec Cooper 'S' and rally prepped it. However, as I was then co-driving and navigating on a lot of national and international events I decided to sell it and it was bought by a guy named Tony Benson who lived in Stevenage.

I lost contact with it a couple of years later and I wonder who is the driver in this photo and which event it is.

Can anyone tell me?
