...and now owned by Melvyn Rutter, beautifully restored 4-seater and much coveted by his son Adam

This is a car that I should have bought, but could not afford in the late 70s and passed on details to Norman. Also pictured in Chris Harvey's 'The Last Survivor' in the cetre colour plates above the caption 'Old Campaigner'
