Following comment left by John Colley for 669098 but actually applies to this car:

This car was owned new by Alan Jones of Jones Balers, Mold, a friend of Jackie Stewart. Later the car was owned by a Mr Warburton in Chester. Last I heard a Arthur Rowlands also in Chester.
I saw it at 88164 miles &it was in fine condition. I feel sure it has survived. It was black.
