Thanks for the replies.
I thought that it was the '77 winner XB with an XC update but wasn't sure.
What threw me was the horizontal rear quarter lights and the XC dash as that is a fair bit of work for asthetics especially in racing.
I knew that I read it somewhere but it didn't seem to add up (to me anyway).

Thanks
