Actually they moved it to the end of the street, you can just see it sticking up on two poles (recognised where it was and went down there not long ago).

I've a copy of this very "Autocar" magazine, which includes the report of the run. Fascinating to read and a superb example of how "have a go" guys used to tackle what would appear to today's audience to be insuperable obstacles!

Yes - those Minx's were hardy little cars - unadventurously engineered - they ran a side valve engine - but nicely styled by Loewy - rust got most of them quite early. 

Yup that was the age of the 'endurance run' to advertise cars.
