Or are you saying Jim Wilson's is the car i am talking about???? I thought his was a drag racer?
I am even more confused now.
Actually i have a fender tag de-code here done by Peter Jordan of RPM that looks like Jims car? BS23R0B202563. Is that one Jim's car?

jims car as far as i know was a drag racer in the 80,s maybe before as well in i think sweden rpm did indeed go over for it and did a resto on it and it was sold to a guy in wales then it became jims, i also think it only has the ordinairy dash not a rallye, had black interior but should have been white which i think jim has now done, the circuit car i dont know anythin about it other than the odd bit in old rally mags etc car and car conversions, i just think they looked ace as circuit cars, and if you could turn the clock back and have bought one off them after they became dinosaurs they would ave been cheap,, also dave i think in that pic you posted was the brut 33 camaro off stuart graham he is only about 10 miles from me they once put that car on exhibition in crewe square i was about 12 in my lunchtime i remember thinkin it was the hardest lookin car i ever saw bet i dident get much work done that afternoon,
also when i worked part time about age 15 at the transmission shop we got one off stuart grahams road going camaro,s in bright red in for a trans job it had oneof the race motors in, my foreman took me out in it aftwer hrs Bananarama! it was fast,, after we did the box my boss got an invite to a ferrari day at someplace maybe donnington and chris graham took the camaro it blew the doors off all the ferrari,s boss reckoned there was a lot off upset ferrari owners,,,,nice

Think that '70 was Jerry (atricks) in those days though later sold on.
I remember seeing it for sale in the MMA newsletter of about 1995? (about ?6000 complete with spare wheels & slicks) though think it must have gone abroad at that point as dont (think) I have seen it around since.

Yes the 70 is our old car, only just seen these pics, the white one in the same set of pics is dave billadues, back when george had it, it looks very much like it was my dad running the car in the pics cos when he sold it to Paul Carter it had the plum crazy stickers applied to the rear quarters, any one got anymore pics of the old runner?
