Recent History
Michael Arundel purchased the car from Ken Harper in 2008 and, after a bit of a freshen up, he and his brother Peter entered their first dirt rally, the 7,200 km Red Centre to Gold Coast Trial.
The car was perfect for the long distance events and lapped up the kilometres in comfort and with a lot of fun.
Entries in the Classic Outback Trials of 2009, 2010, 2012, 2016 and 2018 followed with the best result 6th outright.
