Not that I can remember, Sam didn't have it that long ago though, bought it to do the London-Prague same time as me and Nick set off for the Himalayan, so he would have left in Sept 06. He kept it for a fair while afterwards, and started to drift, but I can't remember where he sold it too. I seem to remember it came from ebay, but you'd have to check!

Might be worth seeing if he has an email in his profile, he might be keen to fill you in on details.

Image An entry from a previous photocomp of the car when it was Sams.

There were some newpaper cuttings posted up, I remember the reporter being rude about it being an old rustbucket or something. Worth a search maybe.
