OK, will do, do you know Graham's username on here? I will ask at the local car club meeting as someone may know or know who to ask.

I think I might follow that information up with a request for info via RMS, although from a previous one they are reluctant to give out owner's names.

No sign of a jesus bar (why didn't he grab the gutter / window?), the wheels could have been anything I guess but it does have S disk brakes so that would suggest 10's. And the wheels look the same as when Mike was looking for info.

That's a cool memory to have about your Dad's mini! where's Hampton, a google suggests Vic but Nirimba brings up SW Sydney... This apparently was active around Sydney.

Thanks, It will probably be a while before I get to it so I have a bit of time to research it's history I guess. Just about all panels are dinted so it will take some work, which makes it difficult because a full resto would end up redoing a lot of the period changes to tidy them up but I feel it would lose it's authenticity on the other hand if I'm going to have to paint it those bits might stick out...

Turn off at Hartley to get to Hampton in NSW...

Levering off an old Mini's roof guttering might not be a good thing! You could end up with a handful of detached gutter

EDIT: graham in aus is the Cooper expert who knew Mike McGee...

I’ve have asked someone I met a several weeks back who has been involved heavily in organizing and competing in Australian Rallys from that era to take a look and see if he remembers it.

Thanks Phill, I really appreciate it, I haven't had much luck with it, let me know if he needs more information or if he wants to contact me directly.

A fair while ago Mike rang me asking if I could shed any light on the mini. I had rallied Coopers from 1964 to about 1978 in Clubman, State and International rallies and am unable to recall seeing that mini in NSW or Queensland events. I originally inquired at the Mini Car Club NSW to no avail there. As suggested try car clubs in northern NSW.
Good Luck
