[bigted]

I think terry briggs sold his to be broken up.

[chauffeur]

Has Rob Gibson still got his,he made a few brief appearances last year.

[imull]

I think Tony Janetta sold 'Hammy' to John Stone before he went to the USA. John Stone also owns 3 of them. White, yellow and blue all sponsoreed by Legend Fires

I didnt know that Damian Cole had one. I also think that Peter Lloyd sold his a while back to fund a WRC scooby.

Matti Santti's car now has a 3.5 DAM engine. It was rallycrossed as a 3.0 in the European Championships in the very early '90s by Finnish driver Pauli Silvennoinen.

Rob Gibson still has his 3.0. The registration of his car is C*** EUD i think. He used to rallycross it with the number plates on. Will have to check some old videos to find the number.

Ken Simms now owns Will Gollop's old 2.3 BiTurbo rallycross special. See current issue of Autocar magazine (0-100-0mph feature).

Terry Briggs' car (ex Guy Williams rallycross car) has been sold for spares. The spares have been split between Irishmen George Tracey and Dan Donoghue. I'm not 100% sure but i think Tracey's car is the red and white liveried ex Dermot Carnegie 3.5 machine. Donoghue's car is a 3.5. Both of these guys use the cars in the Irish Rallycross Championships.

I know that Per Eklund's Metro is in the Fordonmuseum in Arvika (Sweden),

Is that the same car that Phil Winter drove a few years back at Lydden? Or is that another one?

Yes it is, it was the opening round of the season at Lydden 2001, he was just renting it for the day.......and i presume you mean Phil Windsor.

Have also just thought of another rallycross 6R4. Ian Rowlance made a brief appearance in his on August Bank Holiday at Lydden in 2001 if i remember correctly. It was a 2.8 version i think.

[Graham Goodwin]

Do Williams still have a 6R4 in their museum, they certainl had one about a decade ago when I was there!

[Cryos]

Acctuly speaking of Museum i think mondello have one at theirs.

That's the chap who the hell is Phil Winter?

The reason that car stuck in my memory was the signwriting on the rear spoiler 'BERT' in big fat letters, they really should have let me have a go!

Santti's car is on sale.
