The car has now returned to Scotland to its roots. The car was a prolific period racer with quite a success at hill climbs and circuit racing. It was made famous by its dentist owner who frequently loaned the car to other drivers most famous was Ian Stewart of Ecurie ecosse fame. The pictures show him winning with the car when his own car Hws 210 was out of action for the day.
