Hi Andy, It is Green and White and was sold to a South African called Greg Mills, who bought it in as a roller, maybe in 2011. I found the add on the internet but no date or seller, only a price, just over GBP6k. It was brought back to SA and had a Zetec fitted and has been used in WaS racing (anything pre-85 with wings and slicks) It is also eligible for Monoposto where anything goes. I have taken out the Zetec and all the complicated peripherals and am busy with a Pinto to the correct spec and am fabricating a baffled wet sump. I have taken off the huge wheels and replaced them with 6" and 8" slicks on Revolution alloys and also removed the monsterous rear bookshelf and added something more appropriate. The rear engine cover is wrong and is the only body panel partially made from fibreglass. In the mid 80's South Africa copied FF2000 but ran 2 litre 8 valve Golf motors, called Formula Gti using Swifts, Rays etc. I can send you some pics of the ongoing rebuild Botswana-Style if you want. There is another MP52 in Cape Town belonging a a guy called Roddy Mills but it has a different nose and sidepods to mine, according to Pilbeam all the MP52's were evolutions of the previous one.
If you have any pics of your engine cover that would really help as mine has been doctored and I want to get it back to original.
