Is this car known in the club?

Does it still exist?

The last tax disc expired in 1984. It was sold by BL Special Tuning in 1973, I once spoke to the chap who bought it back in 1973 and the last he saw of it was in Wales and it was being used as a rally car. Almost certainly scrapped in 1984, or because it was in use as a rally car there's a high chance it was written off.

It was originally used as an ST demonstrator and appeared in numerous adverts including the 'Fast, Faster and good morning officer' ad where it claimed to be a TC, it was of course a 1.3 DL!!

I believe there are more pics of it inside that magazine, not got a copy of it myself yet

And it's at the bottom in this well known shot, after it had the complete ST treatment
