I think the car looks very good with the orange front. Wasn\'t to keen on it when you first posted the pics, but on a racetrack. Looks cool! And what you want is exposure, you won\'t get as much from a black or silver car.. Good luck with this years season.

What\'s the gulf-liveried thing? Looks a bit GT40 but the angles look wrong...

Just planning Stag-do and need to make a dash to Sweden again once paperwork in the UK is sorted out but barring clashes definately. Hopefully you weren\'t too short-handed on the day!
Does this mean you are going to paint it black and white or sepia mettalic?

I still want your car Atomic.

It looks like a Gulf M1 Mirage They ran in the world sports car championship in 1967 . It\'s based on a GT40. The M2 and M3 mirages that followed were 3 litre prototypes. The M1 is very rare (and valuable) as some of the very few made were converted back to GT 40 Spec. I\'m not aware of any Mirage Kits, so that may be the genuine article. Very rare

That is indeed a Ford Mirage M1.
This is an interesting picture Jon:

You are on three wheels, but it doesn\'t look like it is due to the bump from the kerb. This could be a symtom of incorrect roll centres - the front roll centre may not be in balance with the rear. you may need to lower the rear sligthly. It\'s a tricky one to sort, but I had this problem on the MG and when i cured it (by lowering the rear in my case - you may need to raise the front) I found the lap timed dropped a lot.
Trouble is I setup by feel and by looking at what the car is doing, we\'ll have to chat about how your car feels when you are up this way.
Does it 3 wheel often on corner exit?
I was quite surprised by that photo too! But to be honest I hadn\'t really noticed anything different....still hitting the apex\'s!
Problem with altering the ride heights will then cause the corner weights to move away from what is at the moment a near perfect 50-50 split on front to rear...and a perfect 50-50 split on the diagonals
Shame I cant get you to a track day for the day....would be a useful learning experience I think!
I know I know nothing.... but I thought the rear wheel drive cars were suposed to lift the front inside wheel slightly if it was all set up correctly...... + the rear inside wheel if it is front wheel drive???? you know your getting max drive out of the corners.
Like I said... I know nothing about the suspention setups.... only what I\'ve seen & been told in the past!!

In a perfect world there\'d still be some grip being given by the inside \'unweighted\' wheel (front or rear). Otherwise the outer wheel is having to do all the work which is not ideal.
