> URX 727 was a Works Rally car and not a race car, however when it was in
use
> by BMC it was successful having won the 1960 Liege-Rome-Liege and first in
> class for the same event as well as the Tulip and Alpine of the same year.

> Looking at both race and rally cars it certainly became well known, but I

for
> Sebring 1960 and later ran at Le Mans and went on in the hands of John
> Chatham to be known throughout the UK and AH world as DD 300.
