    With VIN 9112301011 being 1972, and an "experimental G body shell" I'm wondering is this was a rebody using a replacement chassis? Perhaps the production # might tell us more. Use of replacement bodies was pretty common for racing cars at this time, and does not hurt provenance.

    Hi Dave thanks for your offer of the photo's. This car has been in New Zealand since 1982 and certainly hasn't done any international events since then.

    Cheers

    I was confused re the car, initially I thought it was Pauline Churchills. Your Rally photo looks like the hairpin at the End of Esgair Daffyd, an old RAC and Welsh Rally Stage.
