Tracing bromsgrove car VVC 21, blue S1 OTS

Hi All,
Firstly dear moderator, I e-mailed this to you first, but thought I would post it here too just in case.
Hope thats OK.

I have just bought a 1962 blue series 1 E type OTS reg PVV 21.
To the best of my knowledge:
It was first purchased by Mark Giles in 1962, who died in 2012 and his wife, Maureen, then took over ownership.
Unfortunately she is now old and her health is deteriorating. All the history is missing.
The car was obviously loved and has spent the last couple of years at Fisher Restoration in Worcs.
Prior to that it was well know around the Bromsgrove area.
It had a full rebuild, possibly around 1985-90 and ran in the 1986 International commemorative E-type rally to I think Switzerland.
Around this time there was an article on it some magazine, as a photo of a photo from the article, uploaded january 2017, exists on:
http://www.xkedata.com/cars/detail/?car=850545

I would love to find who posted the article and/or find the whole piece, not easy as I don't know what magazine it is!
As I said, the car has been loved and I would like to compile a retrospective history just to preserve the information.
I would be really thankful for any help in finding anything out about the car, or people who knew Mark and so on, and if anyone recognises the article from the photo uploaded to XKE data it would be wonderful!
Many thanks
Ed
