Hi,
I am interested in the early Maguire mini mentioned,we bought chassis #002 from John Maguire when new in late '77 or early '78 and ran it in 8 port 1300 guise for most of season '78,as we could'nt afford to run it competetively we sold it to a chap called Nick Hamley before the end of the season,have no idea what happened to it after then,anyone got any ideas ? would now like to find it.
Chassis #001 was built for a chap called Mike Parkes,his new bare spaceframe was hiding under a sheet in the Maguire workshop one day when we called in to see John,he tried to fight us off for a while but we managed to get the sheet off and were blown away by it and ordered one there and then !! we were running a steel bodied car at the time and were struggling against all the BDA engined cars that had started appearing.
Mike ran his car with an Arden 8 port 1000 engine and was very quick.
