VHU 717H where are you?

Ford Cortina VHU 717H
Ford Cortina GT Mk2 VHU 717H

Do you know where this car is? We would very much like to get in touch so we can invite it along to our forthcoming event.

Ron Channon Car 15, 14th overall in the Daily Mirror World Cup Rally 1970. The Ford Cortina GT Mk2 did the whole journey from London to Mexico.

We believe that the car has not been taxed since 1979, but it had a change of ownership in 2012. Ron Channon, one of the crew members is keen to see it again.
