If I remember the reg no correctly it was on a car belonging to Wayne Grimshaw of Plymouth . Wayne used to compete in hillclimbs and sprints and the car was featured in CCC and competed in their annual sprint for converted cars at Curborough (as I did withOGP933P). The car as I last remember it was white. I no longer have contact details, perhaps PMC could help.

Thankyou to everyone who posted and replyed,i have magazines dating back to 1985,and i can tell you they make very interesting reading,i still hold the veiw that e bay is not the way to sell car parts,i never use it,you cant beat someone coming and haggling,and if they have good manners they will go away with the car or parts etc
