  Le Mans Healeys reunited after 60 years 9 May 2013 (News)
  Originally journalist Gordon Wilkins had been assigned to co-drive NOJ 391 alongside Belgian Marcel Becquart but, on the drive back from scrutineering to the hotel, the car was hit by a truck and suffered severe damage that would prove impossible to repair in time for the race. The team set about transferring that car’s engine, brakes and all scrutineer-stamped components into the spare Special Test Car, NOJ 393, which had been brought to the race 'as insurance' against disaster. The necessary registration and race numbers were painted onto the car and it competed in the race masquerading as its compatriot.

  New Mazda 6 On Sale From 26th January 16 Jan 2013 (News)

  Rare SS1 Tourer to Star in Barons 7th December Auction 10 Nov 2010 (News)
  The car remained there until October 2010, when it was acquired by the vendor. With just 2,600 miles covered, the Escort is still on its first set of brake shoes, and when the dipstick was withdrawn to check the (original) oil, it was still clean and like new. The interior is mint, as are the boot area and most of the paint and body. The spare wheel has never been used.
