My MOT man was asking if anyone knew the whereabouts of his old Challenger OHP 545M. He owned it in the late 70's I think.

thanks
Shayne

Thanks for that, so it has been untaxed for approx 27 years. That either does not look good (as you say) or it is going through a fabulous restoration !

thanks

The letter about the car from the previuos owner was published in Connecetd a few years ago, along with my bits on the 4 wheel drive Fury police car with the Ferguson 4 wheel drive.
