specials
I'm working on a project on unique competition cars - specials, any discipline, must be british based. Any ideas?
The cars must be unique and interesting. |

Look for the
'Gripfast Special' an Aston Martin powered device from the early 80's late 70s, ADA C2 cars, ARK Racings Ceekars and lotus Elans De Cadenet's, EMKA Aston Martin, I have pictures of some of the above if needed. (including the TR7) |

A couple more- more Gp5 TR8 and Robin Hamilton's Aston V8 turbo- in French I'm afraid:
http://gto-racing.nexenservices.com/..._anglaises.htm Anyone got anything on David Ellis' original Aston V8? (the one he raced right through the late 70's/80's, not the GT700 from a couple of years ago). |
