No it’s the exhaust. If you remember the sidepipes we’re too loud and I had to have a custom exhaust made from the manifolds back.

Certainly have! Shelsley's stalls were designed for more vintage rears, maybe like this.....Arses have gotten bigger while garages have remained the same size
...and even then, the fit was 'snug'. Oh, and a round of applause to anyone who can work out what it is.

Allard maybe ??? Looks a like a classic Bluemells steering wheel too . I remember the factory in Northampton near the railway station when I was a lad . It`s a block of flats now !Certainly have! Shelsley's stalls were designed for more vintage rears, maybe like this.....

Good thinking Chuffer - you're right that the twin tail pipes would suggest a V8 (although a bit small for an american lump) and the body was designed as an homage to the Frazer-Nash Le Mans Replica. It's an unfair question really since the car is a Special. It started out as one of these......
......(not this one - that's mine) It was owned by Sean Mooney, a Director of Turrino Wire Wheels. He wrote the original body off in a crash and commissioned Project Heaven to fit a (very expensive!) new body, very much on the lines of the Frazer-Nash. The frontal aspect is more of a giveaway.......
.....since it sports the grille from the Daimler engined Jaguar MK 2 Saloon. Underneath the car is pretty standard SP250 and fitted of course with Turrino wheels. It made a great noise up Shelsley!

Great to hear you're a winner and had lots of fun !
How was the tranny shifting issue ?
What was your average MPH speed ?

tranny seems good,
im not sure on average speed it’s not a figure that comes out in the results sheets. I’ll have to work it out

If their website is correct, the road length is 1,000 yards (3,000) feet
If my back in the old days' math is still correct, then ?
| Math | 36.58 Sec | Speed = Distance/Time | |
| 1000 | Track Length in Yards | ||
| 3000 | In Feet | ||
| 82.0 | MPH |
