No idea where it is now, but here is YHM816G at Harewood Hillclimb in August 1986. At the time it was owned by Jim Overend, who was parts manager at HHC. I was delighted to see another orange Vixen S2, because I was rebuilding mine at the time.

And another, because at this point I realised what I really wanted was John and Linda's S turbo...

When you look at the fashion in the video its like the iconic picture of Mats car coming alive
I was 7 at the time and can remember my sister who was 11 wearing things like that its like stepping back in time

Andrew, I am assuming you were 7 when the photo of Matt's car was taken, 'cos if you were only 7 when I took the above in 1986 you must have had a hard paper round!biggrin

Jim sold it in late 1986/early 1987 so I never saw it with mine which I got on the road in October 1986, so I suspect whatever Tony knew about the car then the trail will be cold by now.
