If its like the imp/stiletto they should have but if its like my imp chassis there is no plate but having bought it from a well known Maguire fan and his word is as good that the chassis is the x sue davies car and then to confirm I have found pictures and had conformation from the man that welded the chassis when new that it is that said car ,so you should be able to find out whos car it was even if the plate is missing

Tom Shephard [formerly with John M and now runing GT Motorsport] will know... assuming he comes on here. If not, I'll shove the photos under his nose as he's a friend of mine on Facebook. George Crozier from Northern Ireland used to run one of those in Irish GTs and was devastatingly quick.

I'm fairly certain that's George Crozier's Metro. That looks to be a Vegantune twin cam in the back of it too which is what he ran. It's a very famous car you have there if it proves to be the case.
Here's some footage of it in action at Mondello. |

yes it looks like georges car even the colours but you seat looks to be in the middle George sat to the right side but that could have been changed or is your seat just loose in the car ,George is still involved in motorsport if you google him you should be able to get intouch with him

The 1600cc Lotus Twin Cam. That's what it was fitted with when originally built as Irish GT regs didn't allow 16v engines back then. I'm guessing the BDG must have been fitted later.

I used to take photos for Malcolm Allen of his son Marcus when he was Karting at Shenington. Would you please send him my regards? Thanks.

My Maguire Metro took a bad hit at the Mallory Park meeting in July,serious damage to the rear end.On the plus side,most of the damage was to bolt on bits,uprights,shocks,driveshaft,suspension links,etc.
Most of the parts have been sourced,or made,or are in the process of being made,so it will be ready for next season. |

Just looked in on the thread, it's going again !
Hi Neil,
Sorry to hear about your damage, hope it's coming back together ok. I am intrigued by your car, as I don't remember a rear engined Metro being built by JM, is it a rebodied Imp/Stiletto ? I don't think the special saloon regs at the time would have let it run in Metro form. Also, Hi to Steve65, please pass on my regards to Malcolm and Bernie. |

I'm pretty sure that this is the car built for George Crozier to race in Irish GTs.

It was definately built as a Metro,not modified later in life,& No,it probably wouldnt have met the Special Saloon regs of the day,but it does now. The car was supplied with a Hewland Mk9,& we are hoping that it will take the BDG,if not,we will have to get either an FT,or FG & remake the lower rear suspension to suit.The Mk9 came back from JP yesterday,so that is on its way to Steve Mole now.Suspension links due back from Nickel plating Wednesday,new shocks have arrived from Quantum,so serious assembly will start shortly. |
