You may know by now that the Broadspeed GTS spent most of its life in The Netherlands, where it was raced between 1967 and 1971, mostly on Zandvoort, before it languished in Amsterdam for another few decades.
We've seen a picture of the car in action before (here), taken by Hans Hugenholz. But Hans has more of them! Some of these below, taken at the Zandvoort track - designed by Hans' father - in 1969. During that year then-owner Tonio Hildebrand raced it at least three times under number 7 - and finished three times first in class. I think it had a golden bronze colour at the time. Great shots, love them!

Note it doesn't have the ram pipes poking through the bonnet like earlier at Zandvoort (here)

Capacity was 1293 or 1296cc back in 1969 and it was fast enough to beat all other Minis

I think I'll carry on painting this one as soon as I have some free time!..
