a stripped and rusty 1964 Austin Mini Countryman needed some TLC, and has been saved from the scrapheap, to be raced at Goodwood

Stripped out to make it ultra lightweight, it tips the scales at just 630kg and has received an upgraded engine now netting 130bhp.

The idea for racing a Countryman was formed in the paddock of the Goodwood Revival in September 2018, where Mark was racing.

A friend mentioned his family owned a stripped and rotten - but entirely original - Countryman that needed some TLC.

Mr Burnett, director of Burlen Limited which makes carburettors for classic models, found previous plans to convert a classic Countryman to a race car and followed those guidelines
