I drew this pic 30 years ago or more... I would dearly love to get the original reference photo again.
Does anyone know where I can find the photo or maybe has a copy of it in an old magazine somewhere they can scan for me?
I think its Mike Marshall in an Escort MkII

[Steve Emson]

Found this cover today. Dad & Wayne Jones entry.

[Rod Grimwood]

Looks a bit like Mr Cowan and a young Jim in passenger seat.

[Steve Emson]

Yes Rod, it is. This is the cover page for the information for competitors booklet.

Do you have the whole booklet Steve, that would be an interesting read.

Hi, I recently bought one of the Toyota's that competed in the 1973 Heatway event and was hoping someone might have some photos of it from back in the day? Any info would be appreciated.

Hi all, just a quick heads up that due to a change of plans this car will be being listed for sale shortly. PM me if you are interested.

Great days these - great camaraderie and lots of fun

Thanks for that, makes it a bit easier. As for this lot it is self explanatory. What a group.

Thought that was young Paddy.
