1, Gerry Cain Rover SD1 sat in his garage.
2, Adrian Fuller Ford Capri now runs in group 1 touring cars.
3, David Fuller Ford Capri i think now owned by Ric Wood??
4, Alan Weyman Camaro need i say any more.
5, Ray West Manta 400 sat in garage.
6, Ray Wesy Opel Ascona written off at Snett 1994.
7, John Hill Manta sat in my workshop.
8, Brian Cox pug 205 Written off at Combe.
9, Phil Seaman Lotus Sunbeam sat in his garage.
10, Simon Light Capri sat in garage.
These are ones i can think off the top of my head which i know where they are. In its heyday there were probably ten capris ten escorts mk1 and mk2 6 fiestas 4 corollas 6 minis 6 rover sd1s 6 pug 205s novas astras and so on and some pretty interesting characters too! So where have they all gone to. Looking forward to any feedback.

Hi, I live in New Zealand and I believe I have the John Warren Bartley Green Capri that raced in the Falken Tires Mod Prod series in the 80s and 90s. It was imported into New Zealand in about 2008 by Mark Babb, who also raced in the series.
I am really interested in the history of this car as I want it's story to travel with it into the future. I believe it may have even won the series at least once.
I have raced it successfully in New Zealand for many years and am in the process of restoring it to the spec it raced in those days.
If anyone knows of the history of this car and can pass it on i'd really appreciate it
