Thanks for those Pics Muddy - but the date must be 1990 (- the car was black in 1989 and 90, then two years Blue and finally in 1993 Green), and I think it is Willie Brown in the Minor.
I'm still surprised that nobody has any info on the car or Bob and Ollie Owen since the mid 90's.......

The little Moggy was bought by my mate Nigel Bond, he ran it one the street for a few years (Including a tow on the back of my Mini from a Swindon show when his clutch went on the M4) he crashed it and sold it after it was repaired and painted satin black, I am sure its still about (Or was until a few years ago)

Willie Brown from Scotland had a couped blue Minor which ran with the RV8s in the late 80s...

The Minor Pick Up (SR14?) might be Julian Russell, who only raced in RV8 in 1990. Willie Brown was racing in Pro Rover in 1990.

Well spotted guys. I wonder who would be the first to spot that.

Well I've given up on the hope that this will re-appear. But I've still got that feeling of "Unfinished business" and so............. I've decided to recreate the "B".
May well be a silly idea but it has got to be done!

[Flying Phil]

UPDATE!!!
"Super B" still Exists!!
I was very pleased to receive an e mail recently from Bob Owen, who had just found RnS. He still has the B tucked up in a corner of his garage. He had fitted a potent 4.6 litre Rover and had plans for even more power! However the rule changes and demise of the Pro Rover class meant that the car never really raced again. It did run in the low 11's at a couple of meetings in the late 1990's.
However I still intend to build a BGT - but it will now be more of a Pro Street style ...and with suitable updates - a bit of Carbon Fibre??

Just to finish off this thread I did build a version of the "Super B"- with some changes
