Si ,John Roberts owned/ raced the kitten somewhere between 1989-1992 he had it in the orange, blue & White colours. In your last photo Chris Crawford winning in the 7 ltr Esprit, if you look in the left hand side of the photo you can see me in my Skoda. We had fastest lap & new lap record I got 1 extra point which won us the championship by 1 point.

I do consider myself as a bit of a Vauxhall fan, but can't say I recognise this one...
(It looks like it's road registered, I wonder if it started out as a road car project that's got out of hand?)

[leecostelloracing]

I got told it ran a chevy v8 an it was a drag car? Who ever told me could be wrong but it looked fantastic

Any news on the Croft round? I've been following this thread with interest as I am just about older enough to remember the Special Saloons/Modsports in the late 70's and early 80's. Have some recollections of some doing the hillclimb at Harewood. If my memory serves me right I recall an Imp with a huge engine in the back, an E-Type and possible some sort of MG.

Was considering heading to the Donington meeting but if there is one at Croft even better. I can only manage 2 or 3 meetings a year and I'm currently trying to pick a few potentials out. So any idea when or if its likely to happen?

Does anyone know who owns it now as the guy who built it has contacted me for details????

[leecostelloracing]

Wouldn't the cscc chaps know or did it just come?

[leecostelloracing]

The stripes going on well exactly the same as 1988 an last november when I tried the btcc cornering

[leecostelloracing]

After a good day with my helpers it looked well


Funny thing it reminds me of the A team without the silver stripe?
