Re: Interesting race car on Car and Classic

Only on Fantasy Island. I don't doubt the photo was taken at Silverstone in 1978 but I very much doubt that it features the same car.

Just call me an old cynic.


I suppose it depends on how much of the car has been swapped, for it to still be seen as the same car.

when I see it has a standard engine, and no Anciliaries. In my warped mind the alarm bells ring and say that someone has removed the tuned engine with all the nice sporty bits, and replaced it with that rough one on the shed floor that needs restoring.

Remember the last thread about how much it costs to rebuild a good engine.

If this is the case, what else gets swapped.

Although if the V5c matches the chassis, and is realy 1930. Then there it a good start for a nice Ulster rep, without destroying another saloon car.

Like most for sale, it shows a car should be viewed before buying.
