Longleat 1970 show - any Nippy photos?
#16
I think I can identify the third car along, The green one.
Note the lack of correct tonneau cover and hood frame.
If I am correct at the time it belonged to Richard Simkin a keen 750 mc member.
He had the Type 65 from the 1960's til my father bought it from him in 1982.
It now resides in my garage and is repainted in the original cherry red which was found around some body rivets.

I will have to look through all the brass rally plaques to find out if a 1970 Longleat one is among them.

Ok news update,

I have rally plaques for BA7C Longleat, 1968,1969,1970,1971,1973,1975 Richard Simkins owned the car then.
I have BA7C Longleat plaques for 2006,2007 in my ownership.
My Father never drove the Type 65 on the road as it was an MOT failure when he bought it in a sorry state in 1982.
He had two box saloons the type 65 and a Nippy in 1982. I had a part built Ashley Special.
I was given the car Type 65 in 1990 and have enjoyed it since.
