Hi Steve,
I haven't heard from Barry for a while so I didn't know he was going to Blyton, I take it that's the first test ?, what date is he going ?
I doubt that I will make it so make sure you get some footage of it running, I can't wait to hear it on track.
I'm sure we will meet up at a later event.
Added a few more photo's.
Regards
Ron.
(Had a rethink about the first photo, I think that car was driven by Phil Darbyshire).

Track day at Oulton Park in November 2016. First outing for the car. Went well with some issues over the ECU. Car now being finalised for this season's racing in the CNC North West Championship. A beautiful build by Barry Long.

Take a look at the rearlight on this Mini, it looks like it is from a MGB ?

You're right about the beautiful build, Barry had emailed me some build photo's, just stunning !!
I hope to get up North to see it in the flesh at some stage during the year, perhaps you could let me know which events he is doing ?
Came across another photo of our old Maguire car, Silverstone 1978.
