Waw I bet that was Scarey stuff I bet the fishermen wasn't pleased ey haha did he escape

Clive Brown · 3 Nov 2011, 17:56 (Ref:2981174)

Keith Holland did escape, but I wouldn't like to be the engine builder tasked with cleaning out the 4x 48IDA Webers from a contemporary F5000 Chevy motor....

Lee - I presume you've seen the footage of what is now your car racing at Oulton Park sometime in the eighties that can be found on Youtube?

Also, here http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....9&postcount=39 is the link to a shot of Keith Holland abandoning ship in the lake at Mallory! Enjoy....

leecostelloracing · 6 Nov 2011, 22:34 (Ref:2982497)

That is one spectacular picture clive humour also very shocking stuff didn't a thunder saloon go in too?.
The video wth my car in it at oulton park is nw gt 88 on youtube it is the great maurice lyon racing there
I love that clip it make me laugh the smoke coming off the car apparently my dad said it was a oil catch tank pipe blew off proper smokes like a beagle on crack haa haa.
You may have noticed the new windscreen strip on it
Now saying "costello lyon"
In respect of the sad passing of maurice lyon
An will always be remembed by.

Does anyone have any old special saloon pictures

Andy Clegg · 13 Nov 2011, 08:33 (Ref:2985422)

Lee, I've put a few photos on 70s super saloon pics thread. Fifty pages of info. There's plenty of superb photos. A lot better than mine.
