Anders Clausager wrote that this car was officially the Appleyard demonstrator, but was rallied by Ian Appleyard, who came second in the 1956 RAC Rally (photo on p 150 of his book).

It was advertised for sale in Motor Sport magazine in Aug 1967:
BREAKING EX-APPLEYARD XK140 (VUB 140) Overdrive, c.r. gearbox; body rough, unused 5 years, not crashed, some parts missing, towable; £50 lot, o.n.o. Chesterfield (Derbyshire)

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
