HSCC racer.

[uncle 997]

Hi All
My new racer is almost complete and it will hope fully have its first run out at croft in August or if I cannot get it complete for then it will definitely be out for the gold cup at oulton.

This car has been a real challenge to get it this far with my work commitments and it is based on a january 1960 shell.

I hope it goes as well as it looks..

Hi ,


that came out nice but I noticed you also moved the gearlinkage inside, using the same universal joint, as I use to do.

I broke mine on a raceday, and didnt have a spare, so if you keep it, be sure to bring a spare.

I upgraded mine to the bigger/stronger type, that raceparts also sell.

Lovely car, best of luck with the first outing!

Lovely build Barry, looking forward to the Gold Cup. To think that in the '60's I thought my Fiesta Yellow 850 SDL was so uncool, now I love the colour!

[surfblue63]

That looks great. I do hope you will get it to Croft as you can count on the support of the local MCR region.

[uncle 997]

Thanks surf.

Iam going to give it my best shot to get the car to croft, last time I was there we had a fantastic weekend and some good results with the smoke grey car. Hope fully I can get near the pace with the new car but it has been three years since I was last out racing but I can assure you iam not going to turn up just to fill the grid.

I will keep you posted as the final bits go on the car and the loom is installed.

That looks amazing.
I am nearly ready to send mine for paint and its going back to the original colour which is fiesta yellow. I also have a set of the M/S rosepetals with R7.

This is a big inspiration to get my finger out and get the shell off to paint.

Very nice.

Pwhoaar, puts many of those posh App K cars to shame.

[uncle 997]

Thanks Pete.

I have put a lot of effort into this car and as you know they are very time consuming to build them right.
I still have some more things to bolt to the car and I will post some more pics when it's completely finished. And then roll on Yorkshire.

This really is too nice a car to race, when I think about what happened to our car at the final HSCC meeting last season, watch out for low flying Anglia's and the Hillmanator.

I assume will be running in HSCC class D ?

Beautiful car! What were the rear quarter windows like to fit in those frames?
Cheers

[uncle 997]

The windows are fantastic quality from plastics 4 performance.
They fit really well and they are priced well.
The back frames have to be split to remove the glass and then just reverse the process and fit the Perspex. [/u]

Was this you at the Gold Cup in 2010? I remember this was one of the best present cars in the paddock that day.

[uncle 997]

Hi surf.

Yes that was my old car and unfortunately It got quite badly damaged after a coming together with a fiat 500.

I remember that car being featured in Mini Mag years ago! I used to use the article for inspiration when building my first racer!

[alexm]

They are both cracking cars - and a great inspiration for my MK1 style racer. Any more pics? What suspension/brakes are you running on the new car?

Looking very good Barry, it's come a long way since I saw it last.

Must stretch the legs on the Heinz and come down to see you.

[uncle 997]

Yeah bill.

It would be good to see you.
