Very detailed photos of the original chassis I remember.
I don't remember seeing those John?
'Mind, there's a lot of things I don't remember these days!

The finished restoration was bought (in Japan) by a chap called 'Gary Fitz'. He started a whole thread about it on the old forum, titled with the reg. number of the works car, (TOL80932) rather than any reference to the CF reg, or chassis no.

The car's last outing as a works car was 11th overall on the 1975 Safari, driven by Vic Preston. Painted plain white.
The car was then entered in the following year's Safari rally, by a Kenyan, Frank Tundo and Anton Levitan (the yellow car that Phil D. has just received a model of, 'still with the 1975 works type spare wheel above the boot lid) The works cars for that year had the roof mounted spare wheels.
