So '487 FDA' is now a racer?? That used to be Jeremy Coulter's rally car! Nice to see JK's old war horse 'DPY' out and about too!

FDA still wears some of it's rally stuff inside and out, spot the Lucas 576 on the boot lid.

Also it is a bit high and soft for track work, This was taken on the sighting lap.

the car was riven by Roy Stephenson. Unfortunately he did not finish in Saturdays race and packed up and went home on Saturday evening.


Dave Dickenson now owns JK's old car, it gets used now and again.
