Does anyone recognise this 2 door Avenger? The story goes that it was originally brought into the country by an englishman to do the international rally. It has/had a whole pile of works/UK bits - 4.4:1 LSD, hot ~1700cc motor, quick rack, fancy shocks and springs, UK spec bolt-in cage, Avenger tiger rear wing mould etc.
Unfortunately it was left under a cover in a paddock for too many years and trapped moisture has killed the body... Almost every panel is falling off and there's not much structure left. Although the guy who's stripping it knows where another 2 door shell is, so there could be a replica/rebuild coming.
It would be awesome to see old pictures of this car. All I know is that it was run as a rally car and eventually became a circuit car - possibly running in Shellsport or SS2000?
The Nissan finished the race in 21st pos, 23 laps down.
We had already lost around 10 laps changing the gearbox before the rain came. I still have a scar on my right forearm from draining the oil.
The other team car had a major shunt on the thursday with Kent driving, in those days you could run a T car.
