Landar R6 at Barbon manor hill climb

Here are some great period pictures to get in the mood - we are entering a new season after all. A season in which we can hopefully get together again for some motoring action or fun. The pictures below come once again from Landar-racer Tim Dyke and they were taken at the Barbon Manor hill climb in 1968 when he raced it under number 34. 

I've heard of a few exiting Mini based sports cars that will come into action this Spring and hope to report about these, so stay tuned.

Tim raced it throughout the 1966, 1967 and 1968 seasons. This is again Barbon in '68

Tim told me: "I was lucky enough to own and race a Landar R6 - the first one in private hands, in 1966!"
