Lee, please e-mail the CSCC directly to give them your details & details of the car; they will then add you to the database of vehicles and interested people that are available. The intention is to start looking at who to invite at some point after the Race Rero Historic motorsport show is out of the way.

Its a great looking car & I'm sure its the sort of thing that the club are looking for.

Andy, can't remember whether I have mentioned it before, but have you looked here:-

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112642

and here:-

http://www.oldracingcars.info/marque...ist-1964-1993/

The latter is particularly useful if you are trying to identify eligible cars.

[andy97]

Thanks John, yes I've seen those - good info & I have used them already. Fortunately we are still getting people approach us at the moment without having to chase!

[jellison]

Lee - I remember that from another forum .

Can you run through the under bonnet spec for us on here.

A crazy device (and I mean that in the best way..........)

Rather fitting.. Super Saloons at Mallory.

Hmm, I would love to go to this, I have to make a decision as I have something on at the same time. I am more in the way of going to see this to be honest!

Excellent!

Looks like a great opportunity to see some real gutsy racecars out there and the CSCC have taken the lead with a gap in the current race series. The old footage on links from the earlier threads is great but what really stood out was the size of the crowds! I heard on one link that Gerry was racing in a Radio 1 sponsored race. Wow has it changed since then. No popular backing these days and no spectators. Maybe we've lost the excitement - this race looks like it might start to bring it back?

[jellison]

All Triumph Race (Jigsaw) is definately on now for this day too. So I'll be entering something Triumph shaped (not modsports enough to hang with these bonkers things!). But be great to be there to see em

[zefarelly]

got this in my stash of car porn . . if its any use for reference, let me know and I'll scan/photo & email all the relevant pages.

[John Turner]

Great, I remember that cover. Sadly got rid of all my C&CCs ages ago in a bout of rationalistion!

[andy97]

Zef, I'd certainly be grateful for a copy of the relevant article.

[GBRM]

I'm sure I posted all th scanned pages some posts/pages back...

As a spectator of a certain age this really makes me nostalgic. I was at mallory when Gerry won the championship in 1976 as a 16 year old and the clips above really give a great feel for the sport in those days. The really bad news for me though is it looks like i'll be away on family holiday for the Mallory race. My wife doesn't agree that she should give up on 3 weeks in the South of France so I can have one day at Mallory Park.

I know. I did point out that my love affair with Mallory pre dates her by quite a few years. I am now enjoying a few nights sleeping in the shed.

[Lancsbreaker]

Surely a one-day break from the holiday could be negotiated, and Ryanair or sqeezyjet could whisk you hither and thither......

[zefarelly]

I was thinking more about the peace and tranquility in the shed

we have the Davrian solo stilletto super saloon (ex charles Barter hillclimb championship winning car) that we are rebuilding for this year


if any one has any period pictures of this car we would be very gratefull as we want to put it back in its original livery (colour preferbly)

[andy97]

Will it be ready to race on August Bank Holiday? Please contact the CSCC so that your details can be added to the list of contacts with suitable cars. We are really hoiping to get these cars out in a series next year, not just a one off race this year.

Don't worry, from my experience the Mallory scrutineer doesn't know the special saloon car regulations. But the one has possibly retired by now.
