Can you help the Historic Marathon Group to locate a couple of cars for their celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the 1974 UDT World Cup Rally. On Sunday 21st April 2024 there will be a celebration at the British Motor Museum.
The Historic Marathon Rally Group are looking for two cars which they know exist but don’t know where they are. The cars are Andrew Cowan’s Ford Escort XPU216L and a Hillman Minx MFV632. We know that XPU was sold by Bonhams in 2007 but have no idea who bought it.
As there are very few cars left from this event in this country HMRG are going to make this a Marathon Rally Show for all marathon rally cars, but with the main theme being the 1974 rally. The HMRG will have a stand at the NEC Classic Motor Show, 10th – 12th November.
I am pleased to say that Classic Yorkshire has managed to find two cars for the HMRG and it would be terrific if we can find the final two.
If you know where either of these cars are please email us at yorkshirepublications@gmail.com. Do not put contact information on our comments page or any other public forum.
