Minning Chassis

The car is an aluminum and fiberglass body on a square tube frame. It uses Fiat 600D power and a mix of 600D, Abarth, and Fiat 850 running gear.

The car was originally dark green (as shown in the bottom photo), but later the rear of the body was modified and the color changed to white over blue. The car has a full width hoop and is left hand drive.

Background

The current owner's notes show that the base car is listed as a Beadi(?). He believes that the car was built in the late 1960s.

It was was sold to Richard T. Aten (or Akens), around 1970.

In July 1973, the car was sold to Tony Lloyd of Merritt Island, Florida. He raced it in Florida and Georgia where it was known as the Squirrel Cage.

In November 1974, Bud Anderson bought the car from Tony Lloyd through his brother-in-law who worked with Tony. Bud raced the car for a limited time in the late 1970s before parking it.
