It has recently been rediscovered and will be at Beulieu this year apparently. Not sure what condition it will be in by then....

I'm in two minds about how it should be treated , I'd love to see it cleaned up and made to run but suspect it will need a full resto . I just hope they don't do a better than original resto on it , it needs to be a bit raw .

Jeff Goodliff's special British Vita Hillclimb Mini stands a mere 3ft 6ins from the ground weighs
barely 9 1/4cwt, has a solid rear axle, Godfrey supercharger and fuel injected eight port headed engine churns out 165bhp at the flywheel.

Corgi juniors made a model of that (repainted version shown below , I have a mint version as well but no photo handy) , it's a rather bright shade of purple too ...

EDIT> I did have a photo of it , it's sitting on top of one of the Corgi Marcos 850gt's ....
