A bit sparse? That is a classic understatement. Then if you couple the dwindling numbers in Clubmans the sports libre classes are dying on their feet!

The Fidoes have been running in the 2 litre class ever since the Hart let go! I understand that the ex-Barrie Lines MP43 is having a German V8 stuffed in the back and should be out next year for a limited airing in Scottish events.

The Mineef car is the SPA and it can be seen regularly at Gurston Down in the hands of Chris Cannell - pity he doesn't travel further afield!

The other superb bit of Sports Libre kit is the Mannic - another car rarely seen 'Up North'.

The March-Bonner is as you say for sale but the asking price is highly inflated compared to what else is on the market.
