Calum's video: The Mini-Trac - Antarctica s Weirdest Tracked Vehicle

@"The Mini-Trac" - Antarctica's Weirdest Tracked Vehicle
A look at the history of the 'Mini Trac', a beautiful and bizarre attempt at crossing a Mark 1 Mini with snow-capable tracks! It was mad, quirky and a pretty big failure. A massive thank you to both Watto at the BMC Experience Reloaded for sharing with me the articles and photos used in this video and to Ian White for his incredible work in researching and documenting this amazing piece of footage. Without his dedication, the Mini-Trac would have probably faded like so many things into the mists of time.
