from what i can tell she was ran by her owner ( mr clemett of stockport ) until 1980 then his son ( mr roderick clemett ) had the car off him then in 1983 the son had her resprayed black..... but then the father wanted it back.
Back under the ownership of the father again ( mr clemett ) they then brought a doner car and restored her and chose the colour MONRAKER BLUE then she was used untill 1991 when she was sold in the auto trader ( i have the advert page for may 22nd lol ).
The next owner ( mr wood of stockport ) brought the car for £950 and ran the car through the 1990s as a second car untill it was parked up in dry storage through the 2000's
Then in 2007 the next owner ( mr swift of clifton ) brought it off ebay and put a new steel passengers wing on her then its been sat since untill i brought it

not so good bits it need some bodywork doing but is a solid car and could do with a respray or run it round and use it as it is or rat it out but overall needs a little love, may do a deal with another classic pm me
