Yeah Dave she was a bit of a mess when I got her! Do you know when the arches were put on? one of my 1986 Rallye news has a photo of it un arched...

the picture in rallye news was when paul newton owned it when new,

i saw the car at Longleat, it was arched then about 1990ish, the guy who owned it then was from Reading

[stu37025]

Yeah it sort of involves trains! sort of! Thanks for the comments on OUH, I personally like the arches too, Ive tried to make it look how I think they should have left the factory........

That must have been the guy I bought it from, he was an old guy called Jim Wigmore, owned Wigmores Garage and I think it was in a village called Bradfield, it had a cage in it and had been used as a rally car at some time and as you know was a right mess, it was the only way I could afford one at the time though!
