	Simon Laidlaw, secretary for the Scottish region of the BDC, recently unearthed a couple of photos of chassis 655. His father was friends with the owner of this car in the 1970s. Simon: "The car was bought by Peter Rae in 1967 for £150. He then sold it in 1976 for £6500. These pictures were taken in 1972 just after the rebuild."
