Welcome, Miguel. I'm sure that some of our posters can point you in the right direction.

Welcome Miguel.

Have a look through this thread. http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81326

Then you might see what the variety was between Group 1 and Group A versions. From there I suspect you'll find a few posters who can assist.

Also I can direct you to Ken Clarke who operates out of Hinckley in Leicestershire. His phone number is +441455 615768. He worked on the competition cars in the TWR days.

Are you building it for the track and if so, where will you race it?

We have a good collection of the cars still running with Classic Touring Car Racing Club that Ken Clarke still has involvement with. I think we should have about 5 or 6 maybe more out racing with the club this year so keep an eye on the club site for any snippits, in fact if you log on to the forums and go to media downloads (or uploads can't remember) there is a great bit of in car action footage between father and son Tim and Tony Scott Andrews both in SDi's that is well worth a look, both cars featured have Kens involvement and I believe have in period racing history.
