A bit of a pictorial history of Joe Curcio's Mark 4B.

These first two photos are from 1967 when owned by Neil Hawker.

Then some from June 1976 when Joe purchased it.

And here it is today, April 2012.

Underneath the nose is a plastic parts container carrying a sticker saying "storage box on wheels". That reminds me that some time ago an unkind person suggested that my Ikara was merely a storage box on wheels. I can assure everyone that it has progressed from that. It is no longer on wheels.

Now here's something that makes Joe's car valuable.

This application form for a CAMS log book in 1967 actually shows that log book number 455 was issued in that year. If Geoff Medley and Kym Burton had such a document they could have been enjoying historic racing in their Mark 4s today.
