Where are they now?

I have been contacted by Micheal Woodcock regarding a Fairthorpe EM2 that his father in law Kenneth Mansbridge built in 1960, the car was registered WBD 772 and was painted in red, his father in-law still has the original brochure/price list from when he bought the kit and speaks very highly of Don Bennett saying it was an honour to meet and speak with him back then.
He says he swapped the Fairthorpe for a mini estate needing more room for a growing family.

Having done a check on the DVLA website it shows the car as currently licensed so it has survived. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the car as the owner is not currently a member of the Fairthorpe Sports Car Club, both Micheal and Kenneth would love to see the car again. You can e-mail me at kartman.nascar24@btinternet.com if you have any information on it and i will pass it on.
I hope to make this a regular feature regarding `lost` cars so if you owned a Fairthorpe and are wondering what became of it drop me a line.

Here is a picture of the car whilst Kenneth owned it.
