Vehicle History

From the research carried out, the first owner of YVH 850 was a Mr John Morris who was a salesman at Charles Clark in Wolverhampton, a BMC Dealership with an interest in competition. The car was apparently used for light competition- rallying and sprinting until it passed to its second owner in 1971. The new owner intended to continue competing in the car but life and family intervened and YVH was dry stored in a dismantled state passing through a couple of custodians who did nothing with the car until it came to me and was restored to the condition it is today.
