Warwick Banks is the name you're trying to remember- he won the 64 ETCC in a Tyrrell-entered Mini 970'S'. This included one outright win at Mallory, (where there was a race just for the small class cars), and a piece of 'proper' giant-killing at Mont-Ventoux (the ETCC included hillclimbs back then as well....)- 6th overall, behind a Lotus Cortina, a 3-litre Mercedes, a couple of 1800cc Lancias and a 1275 Cooper S (he also picked up 2nd in the 1300 class in a 1275S as well...)
The Mini won the ETC twice- the second was John Handley in 1968.
The British series has been won quite a few times from the smaller classes- the more recent examples that come to mind are John Cleland in the Astra in 89, and Chris Hodgetts in a 1600cc Corolla in the mid-80's
