Built in Ipswich in 1967, little is known of this vehicle's racing history
and ownership, other than it was garaged at Weavers Ltd. (groundworks) of
Ipswich. It was rescued from Weavers scrapyard by employee and saloon stock
car driver Malcolm Lane in 1972. It was housed by him until 1975.
Later that year, the car was sent to D. J. Spall Ltd., car dismantlers, where it
remained on top of a van until 1991.
It was rescued from the scrap man a
second time by Dean Cox, who, with colleagues Nigel Robinson and Steve
Spink, restored the car to its 1967 race trim and placed the car on loan to
the Museum.
