1966 Landar Mk VI

This car competed in the HSCC 2 Litre GT Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Race meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.
Two brothers, Peter and Clive Radnall came up with the idea of putting a tuned Mini engine in the rear of a lightweight race car and the first of these vehicles was named the Landar R1. A series of cars followed culminating in the Landar R6 - at this meeting it was shown as a Landar MkVI and was driven by Terry Carthy. The only other information about the car in the programme of the event is that it had a 1,293cc engine. When the Radnall brothers ceased production of the cars the moulds were sold in the USA and it is thought that more of the cars were built there.
