My mate who still does all the major work on my Clubby van (he is 71) has his late fathers spot on blue 850 locked up in the shed. His late father purchased it off
Delore Motors in Newcastle as a demonstrator in "1961" & it has every accessory
on it known to man.
When he died it was fitted with a 1275 and he and his sons raced "4" Minis in
spoodway---usually all painted red/white.
Hope he gets it back out one day--think it,s been stored for 5 years plus.
Wilks this car is far from original and yes sons did race at speedway but that car is not that early he had many minis and many mini parts when he passed away, and his favourite modification for speedway was a 1100 motor with 850head which is what is in that car , his shed had many good bits in it and wish he was still here top bloke,
Have a few pics of his cars at speedway also, his blue one was advertised after he passed away too which is a shame
