Yes, i restored it in the late 60's (after it had been written off) and sadly parted with it in the 80's.

Hi RLCbob,
How did it get written off? Was it rallying or racing?

Hi Scott,
Unfortunately nothing that exciting, it ran up the back of a truck on the A66 near Warcop. Hence i bought it as a write off and spent over 6 months making it road worthy.
Do you own the old girl?
If so which part of the country are you in?
Bob.

Hi Bob,
No I don't own it mate, but did take this very poor picture of it at the National weekend in the late 90's

So it's probably still around.
Good hunting

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the photo, nice to see someone still looking after her.
Any more ideas on how to track her down?
Bob.

I was reading an old Ford Heritage mag from Autumn 1994 & there's a seven page article on this car.
