Dan Marguiles (1979): Back to the UK
The classic car trader Dan Marguiles imported the car again into the United Kingdom,
and advertised it amongst others in the ‘Thoroughbred and Classic Cars‘ issue in
October 1979. The car had become light blue by then.
Eric Stewart (1979- 1982)
The advertisement attracted the attention of the British pop-musician Eric Stewart, who
bought it for around £ 20.000. Eric Stewart was representative of ‘The British Invasion’
in pop music, and
he was a member
of the pop group
‘Wayne Fontana
and the
Mindbenders’ as a
guitarist in the
sixties. After this
he was co-founder
of the group
‘10cc’.
