Back then it was still possible to run your own car and be competitive, I started to get into the top ten, then decided to build a new car from a new 'Rover Motoresport' shell, that's when I ran out of money! It's easy for that kind of thing to take over your life!
Ask the wife!!

A certain Bill Sollis was the man to beat then, I never did do that, but I remember finishing in seventh place at Brands and being able to see Bill take take the chequer!!

Now it's just for fun! although I have just bought another ! sports sedan!



This is my current hillclimber / racer...

an early 850 body...very nice Graham...very nice.

Now...what does the Flip Front have under the bonnet!! :wink: 8)

I'm told it's a 1408 or 1412, has a stroker crank, O-ringed head, S/C Box, Sailsbury LSD (GULP!) Big weber on it and Camira discs :shock:

It is in storage at the moment, while my new shed is completed......grrrr Builders! :wink:
