This example was used in some major Classic Car Exhibitions notably the 1984 Classic Car Exhibition at the NEC, the very first exhibition at which the New Marque was introduced, and has photographs of the Duke of Kent seated in the driving seat and talking to Alastair Naylor (prime developer of the Naylor TF project, in conjunction with support from Austin Rover Group, as it was then in the mid- 1980’s).
This example was even displayed at the Geneva Car Show of the following year, as well as other marketing opportunities in the mid 1980’s.
First Registered with DVLA for road use in February 1985 (shortly to become exempt from DVLA duty and MOT constraint) the car was quickly re-registered by its first owner as YJY 71 -still carried into its second and continuing ownership -from 1987 to date.
