"The other car (splashing through the water) was built by another Scottish BDC legend, Stewart Gordon and was build in the late 1960s using 100% original bits but there doesn’t appear to be a timeline for it. I know the car was re registered but I have no idea of the chassis number only that it is a very early chassis with a slightly later engine and a 'D' box."
