Mini 1275GT v Mk1 Escort.........and a rear engined air-cooled NSU (merged into Audi)

This is Danish "Mini-Ace" Erik Høier in his 1275 GT. He used this in the ETCC as well. My guess is that this photo's taken in Denmark. (Escort is familiare too..)

The pic below is the Twini Mini (931 RFC) on the 1963 Targa Florio, drivers were Sir John Whitmore and Paul Frere. Two separate 998cc engine/gearbox combinations were used....interestingly....when the rear engine failed they just drove it around on the front, hence their poor placing."

You can also see the air vents cut into the bootlid.

Mini 1275GT v Mk1 Escort.........and a rear engined air-cooled NSU (merged into Audi)

NSU didn't get merged into Audi, but swallowed by VW to get the Mk1 Golf design which NSU created and ran out of money for production while trying to make RO80s work.
