Now that Jonathan Stevenson’s recent purchase has been refreshed and brought inline with MSA requirements it is ready for its UK FIA inspection. The car came with a Swedish HTP and some of the preparation wasn’t satisfactory. We’ve added counter plates to the roll cage, door bars, harness bar and a new plumbed in extinguisher system. We’ve added the correct badges to the bonnet and bootlid and had the car MOT’d in order to get a UK registration.

We had a great time this weekend at the Brands Hatch Mini Festival. We brought down a couple of cars for display and even got to demonstrate them on the parade lap. John Rhodes Mini, GPH1C and our limousine were all very popular. The highlight was a lot of fantastic racing, especially from the FIA pre-66 cars with a cracking drive from AC/DC’s Brian Johnson. It was great to see lots of old friends and make some new ones. Lets hope this concept continues to grow and hopefully we will see you next year.
Mini racing legend John Rhodes will be attending this Sundays HRDC event at Mallory Park.

If you wish to meet John you will be able to find him under the awning at the CCK Historic transporter, the centre of HRDC hospitality. Tickets for the HRDC Mallory Park meeting are available on the gate for £13. Bargain!
