My Father John Morris did lease the car for the TT that year. Unfortunatly his Co driver destroyed the car in the final few minutes of practice at Abbey. From what I rememebr the car was written off.
My father had been involved earlier that year with the car and was asked to test it at Goodwood along with one or two others including Sheene with a view to drive it in that years British Saloon Car Championship.
I could write chapter and verse on the VW Scirroco, It ate its front tyres and suffered an overheating problem, which was caused by an incorrectly positioned header tank. The car was always very quick in practise, but very rarely manged to finish a race........Now if anyone could point me in the direction of the wherabouts of his old Flyer Roller Skates Black MK 1 Golf, I would love to know. It was the ex Richard Loyd Akai car, my father then sold it to Alan Minshaw before building the Scirroco
