Following many years of competing in the gruelling world of international rallying the harsh conditions of mud, snow & ice have finally taken their toll on EYH, with the car beginning to show signs of fatigue.2007 sees EYH taking a break from competition in order to be restored to its former glory of 1965 when it left the Austin factory at Longbridge, Birmingham. The restoration process involves the car being stripped back to a bare body shell, and then transported in order for the expert treatment of various panels which are to be repaired, welded or replaced. Only then, after thorough cleaning can the body be re-sprayed in its original colours of Tartan red with a black roof. And so, once the shell is returned, will the task of rebuilding EYH begin....ready to once again compete on the world Rally stage.
