The car had twin rear shock absorbers which made it a bit unusual, it was possibly originally built for Tony Pond to compete in the RAC rally.
I ended up with the block and the gearbox from the above car which are still in my possession.

Ken Wood's 'Golden Wonder' car? It appears on this clip from the 1984 Granite City, including an interview with Ken Wood

apparently built to Group 2 specification, not Group A- on carbs rather than the fuel injection of the Vitesse- could it have been an earlier pre-TWR car?
