I love these old pics of the cars.
They have so much history and really we’re not meant to be around still. As blue says, age related plate changes, paint, etc…
I mean I k ow mine was in a ‘79T plate and was gold from factory, then blue, then grey… it’s at least 2 cars haha - triggers broom rolls on …

The hood stripe on Steve's was Matt black and it had a 727 which he blew up resulting in a hole in the trans tunnel, I think it bruised his foot as well. I've got a picture of the hole somewhere.

Yes I remember it well, when we took the trans out it was in about 4 pieces. Steve was lucky not to have been badly hurt, front drum explosions can be proper nasty.

I still don’t run one but 904’s are less prone to exploding than 727’s.
