Jun silhouette racer from times gone by still looks pretty epic today.

Found this very REd Cosmo HB on another publication. Have never seen one of these before but the 'want' is real! All credit to Speedhunters for covering this rare find.

Steve found a picture today I hadn't seen before from when my FD was nearing competition.

I was lucky in that I was offered a proper brand new drop in Mazda crate motor that came with Turbo's full wiring loom and even a new alternator, never saw one before and never seen one since. 

This was one of the very first single Turbo cars to be built over here some 20+ years ago-------------seems like yesterday.

Originally a black car, allegedly owned by Jonathan Ross, this is one of the cars I still miss after it went off to Greece  :(

I think I remember reading the red one wound up with the styling department at Vauxhall in Luton and left via the back door when the place closed.

This was the one that should have been crushed and GM thought it had been!

God knows how but it was squirreled away in a container in Luton but with no engine.
 
Maybe 20 years ago when it saw the light of day, off it went to Rotechnicks and had a 13B fitted.

The car ended up being owned by Clarmont Corvette and around 5 years ago the founder owner died and I was told that the car was going to be shipped off to the States for Auction -------That was the last I heard of the little red Corvette, unless you know different.

Still can't believe this was 16 years ago, this was the announcement of the Anniversary RX-8 which wasn't an Anniversary model at all!

It was a grey car painted white with a white interior and badges that were taken off and shipped back to Japan straight after Goodwood,

I think, few years ago, with unbelievable luck they found that Corvettes original engine, and it was in UK.

They sent it to US and its been overhauled and going back to its original place

So, now, that car should be whole again

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.
