What is the best non converted Zetec FF1600?
Van Diemen RF90/91
Raynard 88 onwards Swift SC93 Late Ray say 98 What's everyone think? Taking into account availability and cost of parts |

The Swift SC94/95. Surly one of the last and best chassis to be designed without compromise for the Zetec lump (apart from the new breed from Ray, Spirit, ect) Still have the support of Swift making parts, plus they look fantastic. Having driven the SC93, I would say the later model is far superior. Shame we sold ours really.

SC94 although spares can be a bit of a 'mare. Very slightly lighter and stiffer than the almost as good SC95.
Reynard in the wet? RF90 etc. for skilled drivers too... |

Reynard in the wet is a good choice.
At Castle Combe this year Nick Lay put an 89 Reynard on pole. Only about the third time a pre-90 car has made pole at Combe. |

What about a 88 Raynard ? Quick enough in the dry??
Is there a pre 90 class? They are obviously good in the wet!! It has apparently been completely rebuilt with new joints, floor and body last year, chassis crack tested re powder coated etc etc |

Can you still buy new Hewland MK9 gear ratios ?
What are the current UK FF1600 tyres? Avon ACB10? This is on the side wall? Cheers John |
