The big dogs say this is the best race car ever built in the UK.....Restored and ready to run at Dragstalgia
So many bits were custom made ,to make the engine compatable with the inlet and the gearbox...Grumpy said it was a feat of engineering just to get it to run ...

Love the patina on the transporter, is it regularly parked really close to a big sheet of wet 'n' dry?

That says it all for me, if Dave struggled to get his head round it, not a chance for the likes of me

Russ was another pioneer in his day, I seem to remember he was at Wheels day a couple of years ago
Mr Shifter was that the B1 Motor, didn't he switch to Pro Mod in the Calibra, Mick ?
