Ralt RT 1
A Ralt RT1 appeared at the track today, now owned by Dan Daly and BDG powered. However I first saw this car in an Autosport ad 20-ish years ago (could it have been a John Brannigan one ?) when it had some kind of US V6 fitted. It was offered for sale with a Cicale sports car body as an alternative.. Subsequently it appeared here owned - but never run - by Jackie Harris before moving on to Jeremy Bouckley.
But.....Where did it come from. It doesn't appear to have any kind of chassis plate, but the tun looks sufficiently similar to my old - and sadly now departed - ex-Perkins RT1/2/Coogar to render it pretty venerable. As it came from the US, could it have been a Supervee at one time or, more acceptably, an Atlantic ?. Track appears to be narrow but outboard rear radius rod mounting points suggest 75, or 76 at latest......
As one who firmly believes that the RT1 was the friendliest racing car of its time, I'd love to know....
