This moggie featured prominently in articles in the Sunday Times, and TV programmes by the great architectural writer and traveller (no pun intended) Ian Nairn, in the 1970s. I would appreciate information about this car, and better still be able to see it, and/or look at its logbook, ans I am contemplating writing a book on Ian Nairn. Waiting with bated breath !

unfortunately the car is not listed on the DVLA computer, can you confirm the reg number? but it would appear that the car is no more
