My copy is arriving today. I was trying to hold out to see if I could make a launch event, but sadly not. Was hoping to ask you what happened to Reverend Bob as I've still not forgiven him for not distributing the footage from the 2007 Scumball :D

You need Hyundai Motor to sponsor you to write the true* story of how the Pony was designed with the aid of loads of Marina design drawings nabbed by George Turnbull on his way out of Leyland circa 1974…I suspect this isn’t something they actually want to publicise.

Joking aside, he left on fairly good terms and Stokes or whoever told him he could have any Leyland car he wanted as part of a redundancy package, probably expecting to give him a XJ6 or similar. George took two Marinas instead, presumably one of each body style/engine size, and those Marinas made their way over to Korea….
