NEW CLASS / SERIES; Historic Sports Sedans. formation meeting.20/04/13 ACC

[John McKechnie]

Now here is where we can see a whole lot of grief amongst you lot that think a car with "history' is more desirable than a new built old car. The ex Clive Gott car does not exsist, that was supposedly destroyed by Mike John, sent to the crusher I belive. The car he now insists is the ex Millen car does not exsist either, wrong wheels, no Mk1 escort flares, wrong color etc. The car I built and raced no longer exsist either,if you consider the car as I saw it at Highland Park at Easter. The wheels and body are the wrong color, it has a louvered bonnet, the front wheel arches are the wrong shape, the seats and steering wheel are incorrect and it has a roll cage in it. Not to mention the Japanese 5 speed gearbox and the Willwood brakes. Not a glimmer of nostalgia did I feel as I walked by it. So how is this going to fit into this new class? And this is only a car I know a bit about, what about all the other cars on the list?

Dave-just to make sure we are on the same page here. Jim said the ex Millen car was not a sports saloon.
I simply said that I understood that Clive Gott raced it in this class when he set the engine back, welded up the back doors and had a removable front., this was 80s
All this happened before the body was destroyed. I also know the body was destroyed.
Do you know the classes Clive ran it in before the body was destroyed?
I do agree with your view.
