This what i found out about it , and was Lucky to see the car a few weeks back
The modern history of the coupe. the Car was purchased October 2007 (in pieces as Murray had stripped it to do it up) and it was registered in April 2008 when it hit the forests for the first time since 1994. Murray did the Kalpowar rally in it in May though it blew the head gasket 50km into the rally. Gallangowan will be its second rally though it have used be in motorkhanas and the autocross track. It is all still original except the gear box (have now found the original box, just got to try to get it back) but had a holinger box from Chris Berry's circuit 1600, the fuel tank had to be replaced as 14 year old avgas does awful things to tanks, the webers went back to Stewie Reid, got some from Wayne Hoy and the Gnome has worked his magic on them and we have put MSD ignition on it and a new intercom. Everything else is original including the terratrip. Even the original bilsteins are still good.

Specs : The car is mid engined L20. Escort rack. 510 ute diff with Detroit Locker 4.8 centre. Disc brakes front and rear. 1 1/2 cylinders are in the engine bay, can fit a spare wheel in front of the radiator (which Peter Glennie did). The gear shift lever moves up and down rather than forward and backwards. Haven't weighed it yet but it was 1000kg when it went on the plane to New Guinea.
It is a magic little car and an absolute hoot to drive. Murray says it still feels the same as it always did and Iain is very excited to be back in it after 20 years. It is going to be quite special to see them both in action again in it. Next year we'll bring it down to do a few AMSAG events and depending on Murrays schedule it may be at the Alpine as well.

When did it go up to PNG and where?
