While it is very hard for Mini Mania to take credit for simply supplying parts to a loyal customer, we would like to share a series of great pictures from one of our customers. Bill Noon is an avid Vintage Race car owner and driver and recently contacted Mini Mania to help him prepare his very vintage Mini Cooper S to run one of the more famous vintage events in Europe. The Mini Cooper was
prepared in Bill’s shop in southern California to some very exacting standards.
All the pictures can be found here.
The “Tour de France Automobile” is being run under the wing of the “Automobile Club de France” and has been run almost annual since the first event in 1899. The event was originally open to performance cars of the car such as Ferrari, Matra, Lotus and in later years the Mini Cooper. Over 200 cars took the green flag in this European “road rally” that includes both competitive driving on open country roads and closed circuit
race tracks.
