Great car which started me off on my rallying. Sold It when I got to Brize Norton when I saw my next car at a performance motor show. Had some Works history allegedly but never found anything on it - was supposed to have been a recce car.

The Welsh liked it as the reg FWA stood for 'Free Welsh Army' supposedly! Did some good rallies while at Brize Norton and was 3rd in the RAFMSA championship in 1977.
