in 1964 Bo L????? (sorry can remember how to spell his surname) won every special stage (only person to do so in the entire history of the monte) only to have late time no the final transport stage after getting stuck (i think it was either snow or boulders thrown onto the stage by spectators) so he ended up way down the order, still won his class etc. but not overall.
the 1963 cars were all converted into the 64 cars, they were then all sold off, allan mann had one in his btcc team which frank gardner raced, he might have had 2, not sure, my dad has all the history of the cars as he is building a replica of one of the 63 cars. there was one 63 car in california sitting on a farm, i have a feeling though it might have been crushed though! there was only a bare shell, but it had the id plate and the plate had the g.hill stamped on it. so it must have been graham hills car. absolute tradgedy if it was crushed. one of the 64 cars is still being used in rallying, it is owned by a texan his name is c jones (i think) he ran in targa tasmania a few years ago, i think he might have done the latest london sydney too. not sure again.
but i am certain of my dad saying most of the 63 cars became the 64 ones.
not sure if this person is saying this is one of the actual cars or if he is just saying it is the same as...
