To add another bit to the mix comes the word "classic". To my simple way of thinking the Targa classic cut of date of 1992 is way wrong. What some folks call "classics" I tend to look at as hotrods. Don't get me wrong on this, when I look at some of these "hotrods" I see some absolutely beautiful work and preparation and congratulate the builder, but a 1965 car with a 1999 motor is not a "classic".
I believe that the cut off date for a "classic" should be 1980 with a run on for models absolutely identical to those registered/produced before 1980.
So having said that how about the original motor, two valves per cylinder, on carburetors (except where fuel injection was standard on that particular model and then one must use the original system), transmission from the same manufacturer but used before 1980, brakes free but from the same manufacturer, 14 inch wheels, standard body shell (no add on aerodynamic aids) etc. Keep it simple, keep it cheap but allow for some creativity. Allow special models that existed at the time to be recreated within the rules. The model range here is massive and includes Escort, many Fiat models, Alfa, Toyota, Mitsi, Datsun, Hillman Avenger and many more. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
