Before all this,Dave had done some research on some info I got hold of about Bob Holmwood,who is on here,and Bruce Mannon possibly knowing the whereabouts.I think these drew a blank also.
Then while I was doing some digging,I had someone tell me a friend of theirs was building a replica of the Raycroft car and the original car was apparently under a tree in Timaru.....Still in the Raycroft colours! Which seems a bit dubious,considering Dave sold the car in the early 80s.
The Mk 1 Escort changed sheds on the 31 st April 2016 , is in the process of being stripped to be sand blasted 7th May,all the colours under the blue show its origins including Neville Agass's colour scheme, even the hole on the left hand side behind the door at just under window height.It will be returned to the Raycroft colours and be kept as close to period as possible,with only some safety updates where needed.
