Walkinshaw Performance buys Elfin??
Not sure that my last post got through but if it did apologies for the repost.
One of Australian Motorsports most famous names has been bought by Tom Walkinshaw. An announcement should be made tomorrow that will see Elfin cars sold in selected HSV dealers.
The move will be a positive one for the marque which has struggled to keep up with the demand on their new cars.

Why would Tom Walkinshaw personally be responsible for the Arrows creditors

or

have you assumed some level of political correctness above the law?

So you have no idea but lack the common courtesy to admit it.

Check out the Arrows/Walkinshaw issue THEN apologise.

Not sure of the relevance of the sign BUT the Spa winning XJS as shared with Win Percy is reputed to be on the way.

Is there any plans to race an Elfin in the AUSGT Championship? there was something about GRM building one a while ago, or was this shelved a long time ago?

No problem - heard the Goss car at full throst at Sandown.

One real one & a replica, great stuff - the TWR era was a great period, Orange not good.

You slagged Walkinshaw repeating folk lore not fact. Walkinshaw as at fault in the Orange debacle but far from alone & he has met his liabilities as best I know it.

If the car is homologated under FIA GT3 then it could run.

You must be kidding...he did a deal and only ended up paying 3% of his total debts in settlement, to avoid bankruptcy.

That means he didn't meet 97% of his liabilities !!

3 cents in the dollar......reminiscent of 1987 if my noggin remembers rightly

Wonder if that is the path Prodrive is heading down with its F1 desire??

Tom Walkinshaw?

Alan Bond did, but no doubt you can direct me to some reference to support your claim re Tom.
