 Main #11 looks like Malcolm Wilson/Terry Harryman on 1980 Scottish rally, retired after big crash when chasing for lead. If so plate is FEV 1T, which was a factory car for Hannu Mikkola on two 1979 events (Acropolis, 1000 Lakes - both retired), then sold off to Wilson who was one of Boreham's group of "friends" and later managed and ran the official Ford World Rally Team with his M-Sport operation, based near Cockermouth in Cumbria, winning the 2006 and 2007 WRCs with Focus RS.

1st thumb #6 is again Wilson with FEV 1T, on 1980 Welsh rally as stated, finished 11th.
