    I owned this blue beauty between March 1974 & January 1975. I met the missus during that time and got engaged at South Queensferry in it! (Still married 44 years later)

    Having come across the pic a couple of days ago, I checked online on the off-chance there was any MoT or other history - and found it's still alive and apparently well! Currently taxed and shows an MoT history from 2015 when it made a reappearance with 7 miles on the clock. It's only done a few hundred miles a year since so presumably it was rebuilt to whatever degree and put back on the road.

    If anyone knows where it is - or better still knows the owner - I'd love to make contact and pass what history I have on to them. Also am open to buying it back if they were interested.

    I now live in England but bought & used the car in Edinburgh (from whence I come). It was originally Glasgow-registered and I obviously have no clue where it is now. If anyone can recommend any other forums to put this up on, I'd appreciate that too. All the best.

    Dougie.
