Bob Pearson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The problem with 1700,s is tyres, Michelin no longer do them, I believe there is a Yoko that fits, but I don't know details. The Swift JR refers to is actually a 95, there wasn't a 96 Swift and only about 1 97 and that was a 95 chassis with different bodywork. Actually they are a much maligned car ( often unfairly)which if you could find one would give you much more pleasure than the 1700 and parts would be easier as they are still eligable for a current formula.
JR is right, the 1700 was never a nice car, but if it is cheap and for a trackday it will still be fun.
