Man reunited with vintage car he last drove in the 1950s after current owner tracks him down

Mr Wills, 46, decided to try and establish the car's existence and in 2007, after two years of research, he discovered it was in California and was owned by Lotus designer Martin Waide.

It emerged the car had travelled across the Atlantic four times, but had not been driven since 1979 after its engine blew up. Mr Wills paid £10,000 for the car, and spent a further £6,000 restoring it to working order over nine months.

Remarkably, Mr Wills was able to find Mr Davidson from an enamel badge on the car's dashboard, informing him it was driven in the 1959 Kildrummy Rally. Some further research revealed it was driven by Mr Davidson, who ultimately won the vintage rally.
