The car was finished but still did not have an engine fitted when it was sold to Bob Johns in 1971.

It was then sold to David Booth and fitted with a 1300cc Toyota Corolla engine for Australian F3 in 1974.

It changed hands a few more times ending with John Allison in 1984.

Allison crashed the car at Amaroo Park and unfortunately died as a result of his injuries.
