 New user Posts: 14 Location: Lisbon/Portugal | Many thanks to you Martin for show us the pictures, and off course Graham for having provided and authorized the divulgation. I'm very interested in the history of these cars, but the information available is very short, and over the years what I could find was very little. Today, thanks to Graham I can see in detail some information that I tryed to discover all over the years.

Expert Posts: 4458 Location: Jelling, Denmark | grahamarv - 1/12/2012 9:11 PM Just found out that this car is going to be raced next season by Patrick Watts. There is a little bit more information on the ten-tenths motorsport forum. This is definitly a must see for 2013. Every time I see this car I regret not buying it , it was totally untouched from the last time it was raced in 1984 when I took those photgraphs. exciting. hopefully someone will take some photos or video of the races where it contends Jim VVC - 1/12/2012 2:34 PM I've got a copy of Retro Cars Magazine from 2004 which features this Car after it was bought from the auction, I will attempt to scan the pages in for your collection, PM me in the week if you don't see anything yes. please do | ||

Expert Posts: 4458 Location: Jelling, Denmark | redgrave66 - 2/12/2012 9:24 PM So do all these documents and pictures provide enough evidence for you to run factory mods on your hillclimb metro? If so I bet your a very happy man lol that is exactly the plan yes! I need to find out if the 1984 silverstone tt qualifies as an international race under fia regulations, if so, then yes I can run e.g the dual master cylinders that is shown in one of the pictures and all that stuff | ||

IMO all the prices above is cheap, especially the computervision racer and the project pride car. | ||

Forum Admin & Insurance Guru Project Pride Posts: 5690 Location: Durham - North East UK | 111Sli - 4/12/2012 10:18 PM Do you know its current whereabouts Chris? Be good to get it next to yours for the first time in 20 years no doubt I don't have a clue unfortunately, I know it's registration number as they are both on quirky number plates that don't relate to the year of the car which actually makes sense as they were both prototype cars that were taken away to be modified. It appears to not have been taxed at least for years and years which is never a good sign  | ||
