Hello,
A Mk 1 Ruby bearing the number BKX 722 was bought by a friend of mine around 1996/7 from someone selling it at the Carrington Rally Lincs. It was black with a sound body in good solid condition and tan coloured leather upholstery, also in good condition. The engine was not great and the crank case had been welded where a rod had come through the side at some point! My friend had the engine rebuilt with a new crank case and Phoenix crank and sorted out several problems with the car. He didn't get the A7 "bug" and sold it to Nigel Snow about 6 or 7 years ago. I believe it may then have gone down to the West Country. It was definitely NOT a Mk 2 Ruby whilst in his possession!
Regards,
Ashley Vincent
