Mini weight loss

SIR,

I don’t recall the quote Mr Hinchliffe attributes to me (Letters, March), about getting weight out of Minis. It wasn’t against the rules to ask crews not to carry coins or cameras, for instance. I tried to suggest diets, but some battles you couldn’t win in those days.

I am yours, etc,
