They bought the 1974 mark 2 back in 1987, and had attended JOC events at the time, entering concours with it. The first time they got a 2nd place, the second time, 1990, a 1st.
Alex and Jo then moved to France for a few years in the 90s but did drive back for the occasional International Weekend with their baby in a child-seat behind the seats and a luggage rack on the boot.
On the Sunday they had the pleasure of meeting the car's previous (second) owner, Ton Sol who was attending in his Interceptor III. Ton has telling them about his happy memories of driving the car to Lake Como and back.
Come 2021 the car is entered in concours winning first prize again!

Parked up at the pub on the run out on the Saturday. I like to see concours cars actually being driven on the run....
The car has never had a complete rebuild, but had some recent metalwork and it a 3/4 respray, with the work done by Automotive Solutions over 9 months.
