Well done indeed, as this is the second replacement body for the Mistron (c.1973) after the original (and far prettier) 1960s body was distroyed in a car trailer accident. Another point, and I originally said you would get this one  :D!

I'd been using a thread on a "nostalgic" forum - then I found a far more detailed account of the car's history on the 'net and this saved the day.

(I stopped attending national racing at the end of the '60s when women became more interesting, and now realise that I did the wrong thing. Too late. Hence anything after about 1968/69 is a bit of a mystery.)
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Agreed, women are certainly more interesting, but frustratingly more complex and expensive than cars most of the time  :) !
