Andy's Mini is on of the best turned out cars in the NSSCC, competing in the up to 1600cc class for road cars. He runs an 'A' series engine which has the disadvantage to other front runners in it lack of capacity, cams and valves. Despite this, he did well in this year's championship. Click on this link to see Andy next to his Dad's (Tony) racing Mini in 1976. (see Tony Wilson's Mini) The yellow car is Andy's 2005 entry for the NSSCC, it is a spaceframe Fiat with a 1200cc motor bike engine, and is very fast.
