Are you sure it was 1972? The TAP Rally was in early October and Dolomite deliveries only really started that month. Also, the flared arches look a later modification. Do you know who the crew were?

I did a bit of Googling on the registration "CKV 2K" and it appears it was a prototype Sprint that competed in the 1972 Scottish Rally (Culcheth/Syer) and retired on the TAP rally. Doesn't help with the door logo though! Looks like GAQYVO...

Brian Culcheth and Johnstone Syer's Dolomite went very well on the 1972 TAP until both the rear axle tie rods broke, and they had to retire.
