Was it not stopped due to the big V8 Aston (driven by Heritage boss Roger Bennington) blowing up after the startline? With so much oil down and such a big clear up job, fading light too, they thought it safer to cancel the restart.
Shame as there were so many mouthwatering cars. My favourite was the lovely little silver Lotus Elan twin-cam of Nick Faure, complete with old style 'C' reg registration plate and individual numbers on the grill. It looked the part with 'off white' number roundels on the doors as they were in those days, even though it has only been a race car for a few years - having previously spent its life as a street classic.
