This Austin Mini has documented race history to 1972, when it was issued the 13th log book in the Philadelphia Region of the SCCA. The paperwork indicates that it started as a 1967 Mini, but as frequently happens, at some point in time it was re-shelled with a lightweight 1960 body shell. It was restored as a vintage race car in 1993, when it competed in the Sprite/Mini Challenge at Mid Ohio, and other Midwest events. Last was raced in SVRA's Sonoma Classic in June 2016, this is a safe, reliable and fun car to drive.
