Some thing else I noticed, the car had a black roof on the Monte

Repainted or a re-shell??

It seems ABL retained its original shell while at Abingdon, never crashed and always tarmac events, though it did do several Motoring News English events while a works car, 62 Monte in standard colours, along with its first MN rally, the Yorkshire thereafter with a white roof, Vitesse models got it wrong with the green/black combo :oops:

and here are two correctly liveried versions (first two in line). The black roof 62 car is a Vitesse and the white roof 63 car is a Spark
