The Mark VII was successful in competition, and for some years dominated the touring car races at Silverstone, driven by among others Stirling Moss and Mike Hawthorne. The vehicle was also entered in rallies, and a Mark VII won the 1956 Monte Carlo Rally, driven by Ronald Adams with 213 penalty points.
A trio of MKV11 saloons took part with three top drivers, Ian Appleyard, Cecil Varied and Ronnie Adams. The latter chose Frank Bigger and Derek Johnston, the 1952 Circuit of Ireland winner also from Lisburn, as his crew. Ronnie won a first prize of £1,200 for that prestigious race, which was a lot of money in those days and of course the Prince Rainier Trophy. Our model is complete with spats off and plenty of detail.
