TKS 33 SA 695, in common with the other works cars was used on home events during 1971 and finally put out to grass at the end of that year. 696, chassis H530-00026, which was John Bloxhamís RAC car, went on to win the ë71 Welsh with Tony Fall at the wheel before being sold to Withers of Winsford. Edgar Herrmannís RAG car, 694, H530-00024 was sold to Rob Grant and Martin Birrane who converted it into a racer and campaigned it mainly in European Group Three races. 694 was taken down to South Africa for a major international at Kyalami and was written off. The team needed a new car and acquired 695, the ex-Aaltonen car, from the works. 695 was mildly modified and taken over to Portugal where, with backing from Cona Coffee, it took part in a couple of races. It was here apparently that Rob was puzzled as to why people kept sniggering at 695. Then the Clerk of the course suggested they should cover up the sponsorís name and explained the unfortunate meaning of "Cona" in Portuguese!
