enforsa should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The car will be back to torsion spec when I've finished. Nothing too difficult now I've done the research. The bars were removed and it was fitted with leaf springs when found in 1990. Finland is a long long way from New Zealand to go and look at a car for a couple of days just to make sure I do it right then go home again! I've also found a guy here in NZ who worked on the Norman Reeves / Dave Brodie sister car that was written off in 1972. He particularly rembers it for the rear suspension.

Here's a few pics of the Willment / Crabtree car's rear suspension which I'm sure will be of interest to a few. Mike Crabtree reckoned it was better than the Boreham cars as it was more adjustable and from the look of it he is right. A slightly different take on the idea. I like the way the "springs" are attached. Not sure how the outboard 4 links further the cause of fitting the widest wheels possible in the arches though.
