Spoke to the other mechanic tonight, he is the son of the driver of the car. He was most surprised that the car is still alive and was even more surprised when he found out that the car is returning back to the village it was rebuilt in. We had a good chat about the car but when it came down to describing the paint scheme we realised he was thinking of the wrong car. He thought we were talking about a Mk2 Estelle rally car. The spooky thing is that the Mk2 Estelle is sat in my lock up undergoing restoration by a mate of mine.
Once we realised we were thinking of a different car, i emailed him pics of mine, his dad owned and drove both cars on various rallies throughout the late 80's. His dad is currently holidaying in America but has been contacted and is willing to help and assist with any information etc that he can do, he has photos and videos of both my car and the Mk2 in action plus various other items of interest.
A good evenings detective work all round with a surprising out come.

Car is now finally home after a 500 mile round trip to the middle of nowhere in Scotland, about 10 miles west of the A1 Dunbar.
More pics etc will be posted later in the week.

hi I think your Kenton?
my dad was the owner of the rally car, and also the other one that's mentioned, I'm told the early one may have been scrapped, do you still know where the other one is? I'm looking at buying it to restore it
