I have been trying to locate this car for a while now , car is not on DVLA system but can anyone give a lead as to its whereabouts?

Have spoken with Will he sold it to an Irish gent but thats the end of the trail .

I had heard it was in Ireland and has been for some time which may explain the absence from the DVLA system.

Dont think so since VNX on a H plate was never issued

VNX with a H suffix was issued - between August and September 1969. :cool:

I'm sure Will built an 'S' specifically for the RAC one year, presumably because WNX wouldn't have been eligible.

VNX700H was built as a Group 2 car and used on the RAC. It was sold by Will to Tim Miller who used it during 1972/73, mostly on Castrol MN events before selling it on.
