At Scrutineering before the Scottish Rally two
of the tidiest and tastiest cars were Alan McMorran's Hillman Avenger (with a
little help from Alan Clark) and Davie Hayton's Ford Escort Mk1 resplendent in
'The Scotsman'/Andrew Cowan colours, including the thistle on the roof, from
the early 70s.
Sadly Alan retired at the end of the second stage with the
Avenger suffering from sort of mechanical malady while Davie finished 45th and
4th in class after losing 3 minutes with a puncture.
But the stars were the
cars, a real tribute to the effort and hard work of both gents. Wonderful,
simply wonderful.
