I wouldn\'t say it looks like it from the photos, but the engine bay photo is pretty poor.

If the bloke would respond to my txt, I\'d be over there digging around taking more photos for you guys!

YES - it\'s still a 1st Gen no matter what condition or style you have chosen.  Incidentally this car is fantastic - good luck guys @ SPA.

Haven\'t got round to looking at them yet - I\'ve just taken out the rear anti-roll bar and checking out the stabilizer links.  Putting photos on \'Goldie\' thread.
Now loosening off bolts and nuts from other suspension parts preparing for the big strip out - I\'ll let you know.

Sad news, could you remove A220 PBW from active service please, as "rusty" was a victim of mud on the road last night in the deepest depths of Norfolk.

Hi Rich,

Deffo it counts, as Cliff says....all 1st Gens are counted....it\'s actually listed already under \'Roadgoing and Rally Series 2\'s , one of the running S 2\'s.....I\'ve got it dated as a 1983 with a question mark against that date....would that be right?

Good luck.  Dave

Oh dear Ollie, we can ill afford to loose any....Will Rusty make it back to the Roadgoing Scene do you think? You\'re posting so assume you\'re in one piece. Hope So.

That deserves a pic.
A Brodie Britain turbo,l/h hooker.!

I dropped BBR an e-mail asking if they had any details about the car or the conversion, but they have just responded
"Sorry we no longer carry records dating back over 10 years"
so no go....

im fine thanks. so is the tree. sadly the car took all of the impact and is deemed to be beyond repair which is a real shame.

the engine and running gear are ok, so i might look for a good rolling chassis or a car with a blown engine to fix up.

just really cheesed off. all due to mud on the road...

Maybe it was a cobbled together conversion meant for the MX5?
I\'ve never heard of a BBR turboed rex before,well until now!
