Grant, we now own a Red Mk 2, rego CT1666, did your father ever drive that one and if he did do you have any photos? He may well have sold it originally? I was told by the seller of the car to my father that Tony Shelley supplied the car to Rod Coppins and John Ward to race at the 1966 Gold Leaf. Thanks Steve
