And before you ask, my own Aceca-Bristol is intended as a road car only and won't be finished until much later in the year.....you'll have to make do with the Giulietta SVZ.
Sorry, Brian, I think I was typing my later reply whilst you were doing this.

The Alfa is absolutely spot on for this race.

Mike, yes an MGB Coune Berlinette would also be good. I think I've only ever see one race and that was at the Revival a few years back.
