Vauxhall Chevette NPP87P ex Cars and Cars Conversions Magazine / Fred Henderson Project Car, LWB HS shell

Famous NPP87P Chevette 2.3 rally car, originally the project car for Cars and Car Conversions magazine in 1978-1980, built and successfully campaigned by Fred Henderson over this period until purchased from Blydenstein Racing in 1982 by my brother Steve Worf. We competed in this car with great success until 2003, it has had very little use since being kept in dry storage.
