The other was a 1300BDA that was used in the 1973 Grand Prix support race in blue/white. The Shell car was run by Don Moore and had very wide front wheels to stop the understeer, that is the car she is sure went to Ireland (she remembers getting a call from Ireland inquiring as to how a woman could drive a car with such heavy steering). The Poole notes from 74 state that it is an 'Alan Mann/Ford Boreham/Don Moore' car.
