The other thing I meant to ask is does anyone know where Dave Millington is now - is he a club member?

So does this mean that the DTV NI car is the ex-Stan Burge car, or is there still a confusion?
Don't know about Dave Millington, he's not a member. |

I believe Dave is happily selling toy cars these days on eBay (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/...-Models-and-Collectables) and normally turns up to Billing, or
has for the last few years.... Very nice chap to talk to as well. It might be a complete mistake that there are two Dave Millingtons, who are into Vivas and
both owned an ex Thruxton car mind? |

I thought that was Andy Millington, from near Northwich? He's got an ex-DTV Rally Viva.
