formula ford lyon dL2 history, info , and pics please

Hi all, the old Lyon, built by Dennis Lyons of Southland, in 1971, is currently getting a rebuild.
It has been owned by Dave Morrison for the last 30 odd years.
It has had lots of drivers in it over the years, my first memory is of Graeme Vaughan driving it in the south island ff.
Dave mainly hillclimbed it, and it still holds 2wd record s around the south island
Trevor parmenter won the 1988 Goldstar hillclimb championship in it, and I have raced it at the sfos events.
I am after the early history of her, any pics would be good, results of events it's been in.
I would love to post some pics of her, but can't seem to do it, Help!!.

Is this what you are looking for Paul?
Attachment 18894

this is from the 1973 Shell annual, it is the only information i have, it is not mentioned in the text at all

There's an article with pics in an old Autonews I have. Can't find it immediately but contact me if it's needed.

That's the old girl, thanks seaqnmac.she looks exactly the same, except it has a different nose on the front.who drove it way back in the 70s?, anyone know?

That would be good Russ if you could dig that out when you have a mo.if I knew how to get some pics on here of the rebuild I would.
