Streamlined Mini racer (1965)
The photo below was posted recently in the New MINI section of the MCR forum.

A glimpse into the future....back in 1965 (ish)

More details and photos have come to light on the Mk1 Mini forum. Apparently this Mini was raced in New Zealand by Frank Hamblin in the late 60's and still exists. It looks like the windscreen is raked back and the front gutter is removed plus a roofchop but no sectioning to the lower body like the 60's Minisprints.
