Don't recall whether either he or Dave Silcock took it south, but Millen certainly did

David Silcock usually raced as #40, plus you can see the wheel arches have been flared quite heavily on the Jag in this shot.

David you got it right first time.
Steve played with Turbos on the BMW for awhile and had few problems. This was fairly new stuff then. Took car to Asia with Air NZ team. The late Paul Swann, a cousin of the Schollums raced car after Steve.
Jag,that was agreat car. Yes wheel arches were modified and paint etc done by Lyall Martin who painted all of Dave Silcocks cars and alot of other peoples cars as well especially the Millens. The wheels on Jag, are the original wheels of Faheys first BOAC backed Mustang. Have picture somewhere will post.
