Black Thunder, which started off life as the "Porsche Sierra" is now the mid-engined beastie that Michael Blomfield runs in the NW Sports/Saloons.
There's very little of the original car left (shame - I liked Black Thunder!)

The 'Stars and Sripes' Manta-Chevy that Nick Oatway pedalled
The Ecosse Manta that Hugh Chalmers and David Leslie ran nicknamed 'Bendy Bus'
The ex-Brodie/Birley Starion was stolen, with it's trailer, from Brands Hatch, in 1990 (or was it 91 Rod?) If you know where it is, I'm sure Rod would love to know!

Stars & Stripes, mmmmmmmm, did I read correctly - it's being/has been rebuilt?

What I need are some real contacts with these people. Those of you that know where they are, can you give me details (by PM please) of who to contact (numbers, email, etc..)

I'm still trying to get hold of Pete Stevens ('The' Carlton).

It's a real shame about Pete Baldwin's Baby BDA Mini, in a glass case, tsk tsk!
Racing cars are for racing.
