Talking about Sunbeams I remember these ones although some were Road Saloons -
Mike Marlowe - blue/white (I think it was a Ti) Rob Beaumont - black/silver Phil Seaman Neil Hasler - red/silver Craig Davies - blue (was this the Preptech one ?) Nick Davies Jonathan Woodward - orange/silver Andy Clarkin - red Joss Ronchetti - black/silver (before the big mods) Feel free to fill in the missing blanks or even correct me.

Mike Marlowes was a Ti at first as he bought my 1700 Group 2 engine off me he then converted it to Lotus and sold it to Craig so all the same car. Certainly were some Sunbeams out there back then same as SD1's we had about 8 of those buggers as well.

I think Mark Wyatt had a red with silver stripe one? The name Nick Kaye rings a bell too?

That's it Mark Wyatt and Eric Crawley, they sound familiar. Sorry guys looks like I'm talking about SRS.
Mark may have been the blue one. I'll try finding the photos and upload them. Then someone can confirmed. I don't remember John Smirthwaite though |

Seeing the list of cars still sitting in garages is such a shame Its great one or two guys still have cars and are back out racing them.
We tried doing this in Rallycross a few years but trying to locate cars was a nightmare. Let alone trying to get people back out to race. We did start Revivals Rallycross but not many original modified cars entered only really new drivers which was a shame. Although we started with a few old cars - Scott Lawson - ex Tony Bell MR2 Bob Gooding - ex Trevor Reeves Escort Lance Forster - ex Mark Kaye Mini (wrote off but was re-shelled) Brian Thornton then joined us in his orginal Metro. |

Have just posted some Lotus Sunbeam pics, as they were all SRS cars have put them on the correct SRS thread.

I might have made a mistake earlier on the Preptech car, as I seem to have a photo of a blue Sunbeam but the program says Ray Donner is the driver. Craig Davies is down as driving a Starion ?
Btw I remember a couple of black Escort Mk2s Russell Clark and Steve Guard. |

That Starion did the rounds, It was debutted at Mallory by Lee ???? or ???? Lee and was very quick (must have suited the circuit) was immediately sold on then sold to Craig then Mike Marlow, then Phil Rowley (order may be wrong)who sold it on again and I think not certain that its Neil Phillpots who races it in Classic Thunder now. I had some good races with Phil in that that thing that had a tendency to go off into the scenery if you touched the throttle too early in a bend so if you could get right up behind it the driver would inevitably try to floor it through a bend and off he would go into the kitty litter or worse! The East London crew of Craig, Andy Clarkin, Ray Donner, Andy Pipe and interloper W.Sussex boy Mike Marlow had a tendancy to have a swap up of cars. Incidently word on the street is the East London Massive are due to return to Classic Thunder in 2011 and Craig has already done some rounds in the BTCC Touring Car Sierra and I believe is sponsoring the championship next season.
