its castle coombe circuit, the buildings are race control and the cafe, i think you can just about see merlin motorsports building in one of the pictures as well.

most of the white painted buildings are the old second world war ones from when it was an airbase, but they have been re roofed and have some new windows - some have the original metal windows - a real slice of history!

I simply like it for the fact that it has a clubman front end - which I've never seen before :)

i kind like it but, and its a big but.. it makes the clubman front end look even longer.. they should have shortened it.. and definatly the wrong engine.. other than that the rest of the cut and shuting looks great work

Wot he said...and no A series = not interested. If people don't like A series or think it's fast enough, drive summat else !

You miserable gits ;) I think the bike engine in the front is one route that I would go if the extra noise wasn't an issue ;)

I quite like it. I agree the front end does look out of proportion now though. ;)

I can't comment on the engine, as my other mini causes a massive divide whether its still an A series or not. lol

Was this Clubby at Castle Combe.?
I was more interested in the Woody's in the background.
The one furthest left was quoted as being one of the earliest examples of it's kind.
