“I have just purchased 317AOV number 27 of the Archers cars, previously owned by George Wilkin. George has now passed away. I was advised by Mrs Wilkin he purchased the car from Bill Postin because he liked the look of it. George only drove the car up & down his farm lane a few time over the years. It spent virtually all of its time stored in a shed within one of his garages. The car was in remarkably good condition for being stored for almost twelve years. After some light refurbishment I competed in the 500 MRCI event at Kirkistown Co Down this weekend & managed second in the Historic class in the Sebring.
My other Sebring XXC818 number 51 of the Archers cars will now be returned to road specification & used for sunny days & Sunday runs. Could you please update the various pages on the web site. I have enclosed a few images of both cars for your records.
Kind regards Trevor Mcilroy, Belfast”.
