You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Wasn't there an article in TME about one? Not sure who's car it was though.

Damn and blast!

You beat me to it Matt.

If Matt doesn't want it, I would love it, Steve. (whispers, never throw out anything related to history of the Mini witrhout offering it to me, mate )

Anyway, I would love to get hold of a copy of the story and a high-res scan of the cover.

Yes, we had a brief one-page feature on the Ecurie De Des in Issue 8, when featuring the Mini K recently built by Des. The fastback in the story was owned by a chap named Russell Holehouse, and I photographed it about 12 years ago (four-page story in Issue 4 of Mini Magic - way back in 1997, and also featured in Mini Magazine, October 1997).

However, I have not been able to track Russell down again, and do not know if he still owns the car. Any information would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Watto.
