If you look on the opening post of the 'Historics on the Hill' thread it's changed colour.
I think it was an ex-Willment works car.

I wish it was Peter, as far as I know, and I have it on pretty good authority, most of them were destroyed and/or sold of for club competition, rallying mostly. None survive. WIlment did modify road cars to a similar spec to a Lotus with a tuned 1500 push rod engine, and period road tests are most favourable. There may be a few of those around.
THere are very few GT race cars, only 2 pre airflow in the UK I know of, and 2 airflow, several in Aus and a few in Scandinavia. Willment only ran them in 1963 and Jack Sears won the championsip in them ( and some points in a Galaxy ) they were redundant thereafter.
