Thanks for several messages with links to two lovely videos from the 1967 Players No.6 Autocross Championship, showing some great action filmed that year. There's a number of Mini based cars to be seen in action and one of them is the infamous 'Golden Egg' as it was raced by Paul Kerridge. I'd like to do a more comprehensive article about that car soon.
Other brief but worthy appearances were filmed in Stafford and come from a Peel Viking with (fake?) number plate 'RED 1' (it's not this car is it?) and a typical autocross Special made by getting rid of as much of the Mini's bodywork as possible. Like Kerridge, the guy who races that thing is really pushing it! Last but not least there's what looks to be a home made but never the less very nice MiniSprint registered 'TON 1', too. Enjoy!

This Ogle SX1000 was very successful in the hands of Kerridge of Shellford

It was built up using a crashed Mini Cooper with 1275 tuned by Don Moore

But what have we got here? Yes, that's a Peel Viking. Not so sure I've seen this one before

Could 'RED 1' be its real registration? Could it be this car in an earlier stage?

One of quite a few autocross Specials build from a Mini with very little bodywork left

It looks like a number of similar cars: the Clegg Special, Nova Special or LEDA1

And another super cool registration: TON 1 is on what looks to be a home made MiniSprint
