The Black superbird was owned by Ray Sharpie nick name Harpie. I was there the night he smashed it up and I am afraid I was one of the instigators of the crash. Every Wednesday night in the late 1970s in Beckton in east London there was Street racing on a piece of straight full street lit road about half a mile long. The builders had put this piece of road in before building the houses. Anyway ray had just fitted nitrous to the sixpack on the bird and was bragging that it was the fastest car in London anyway me and my mates geed him up to race one of those small AMXs. The finish line was about 150 yards before the roundabout. The AMX was just in front coming up to the finish line and started to back off but Ray didn't want to loose and kept his foot down to long and ended up skidding right over the roundabout and the sign and smashed up the front of the car. It was badly smashed up but Ray had his own car body shop so he was able to repair it.

Sounds about right John. Blimey, we're a bunch of sad old farts aren't we?John wrote:Adam was this photo taken at Long Marsden in the mid 80's 85/86? I'm sure I've got a photo (somewhere) of that car in that position at the back of the field. It's almost the same camera angle tooI'll have a look for it !

By the way my name is not "Andy" It`s R.Runner, then car was sold on to Roy Rudge.
Now Whit used to push his cars hard, not sure which was worse his 452 Charger or his Renault Gordini running octane booster, either way sitting in the passenger seat was always entertaining
Good fun car, people couldn't believe that the Aspen in its fine colours of yellow, rust & grey primer, could slam em hard from the lights.
That great sound of a revvin B block & 4 speed, what more do you want.

Yes I remember him terrorising Chelsea in the Asprin, had skinny fenton slots on the front and no front bumper on it as I remember. Tim fennell also owned it for a while, he had a 440 in it with some experimental Weslake heads and a rat roaster manifold and fenderwell headers. I seem to remember the heads were prototypes for a proposed big block W2 head that Chrysler had abandoned. Don't know where they came from or what happened to them. Tim claimed Dick Landy had been in touch wanting to buy them.

Here's the Mimmack car at Notts in 1992.
That may, or may not, be another Kingston Cuda alongside it.
