JBL172D at the Lydden Hill Rallycross the weekend after the cancelled 67 RAC. (the event had always been scheduled and was not organised after the cancellation of the RAC - but all the intended foreign competitors had by then gone home - to count their exchange rate losses because the pound had been devalued whilst they were in the UK....)

The car sold to Mike Wood (Tillotsons) was presumably the last (Gp 6) car to have the number in works hands. Pictured here in (cosmetic at least) Gp2 spec of the initial car.
How I hate this messing with the chronology....

Great to see some pictures of this historic car.
It doesn't pay to rush these things! There is no hurry and it is in safe hands :)
