I had a rough idea of what was involved as I\'ve manged to buy 3 of the original cars over the years but never new how many were actually built and competing.

This is part of an article from Motor magazine where Russell Brookes compares the 323 to the MK2 1300 Sport. I\'ll post it up when I get more time and work out how to use my scanner properly :rolleyes:
Cheers,
Rich ;)

They were both pretty rotten so I took the bits off and disposed of them accordingly :Laugh

^^ Haaaa I was gonna ask what happened to them but there\'s the answer!
Mike have you thought of stickering yours up as a period replica?
some nice piccies there Rich ... it looked mean on knobblies :)
Nah, I don\'t really like stickered up cars. If they aren\'t paying me to have the sticker on the car I don\'t see the point
