Special Saloons - Mallory Park - 2011

[ag shrigley imp]

We have decided to sell the imp. Andy Jones is going to race it untill we get a buyer.

I had to decide which way to go as i have 2 race cars for the series.

breaks my heart as its very rare and cost alot of time and money.

But things change and life goes on hahahahh

You can put it for sale lee on the other forum if you will as I wont be able to put pics on

I have been sorting some of my old images. Anyone know who and where this Skoda is now? It was taken in 1999 at Cadwell Park.

Now that is dead Must be still around, surely?

911 meets 130........

For those that don't spend time on the history forum, it appears that one of the ex Rob Cox 'Black Brick' Caterham based devices is alive and being restored in Germany. Look forward to seeing that on track!

There was a car similar to Black Brick racing in Ireland in the mid 80's. I can't remember it's spec etc but it was bloody quick. Here it is in Testing at Kirkistown. It was fast, but not as fast as Richard Peacock's F1 Tyrrell

[leecostelloracing]

Ha ha what a mad thing it looks too

Morgan Dempsey?

Was it the TMC Costin or something like that?

A right heath robinson contraption but so memorable because of it.

[Clive Brown]

Yup, the TMC Costin. I'd remembered the car, but not the driver!

It is Tony Sugden's Skoda it's the car with the Cossy Turbo in the back . This car was sold to Chris Crawford who own's the 7ltr dark green metalic Esprit. This car was Tonys skoda after the car i had off him with the 3.4 ltr Cosworth GA in the back.

Thanks for the input guys.

Definately a TMC Costin.The company was bought by Panoz and they developed the car into one of their roadsters.

Have you got a pic without the bloody cameraman standing in front?

So what year spec did the car last race in- front looks more 21st century than 20th. Hardly Heath-Robinson.....

Ditto.

All very interesting, plus I have just finished working in Athlone (where the Costin originated)for a few weeks, plus my son is getting a 1976 Dutton B+ V8 sorted (looks a bit similar although it runs cycle wings) (and the paint is not as good!)

[ag shrigley imp]

Just got the power unit back and finishing it off ready for fitting into the chassis.
2 week and all up and running, ready for practice once the weather changes

[Moosehead]

Hmm, engine - still waiting for ours - 11 months on!!
