Australian FF owner David Stagg was browsing through old magazines at a motoring book shop and was amazed to find his car on the front of one.
On reading the article it turns out that his car was used at Christmas 1968 by journalists RAB Cook and Ken Laidlaw to drive from London up to Cape Wrath in the far north of Scotland.
David has shipped his car over to the UK and is re-creating the drive, meeting up with other owners on the way.
