Description:

History:

Built in 2012 by Garrie Whittaker for Classic Thunder. Raced four times, with class records at each of the circuits it raced at. Quicker than everything except a 900bhp Nissan Skyline. Garrie wanted to beat that Skyline so started a V8 GTR E36 build, and sold this car to me in 2013.

Raced by me twice in 2014 BARC NW Sports Saloons Championship:
- 2nd in Class A in first outing at Donington (1:17.8).
- 2nd in Class A again at Anglesey (wet)

Not raced since 2014 due to a health issue, but have done five track days in total since then

Latest track day earlier this year: the car ran faultlessly
