I think it's just Hawk dash panels and front louvres Neil?
Chris S. will let us know for sure. I did think that it had a Hawk front end on it at one time, but I'm sure Chris said it was an original Corse panel.

If it's my old car you're talking about, then Chris has it for the bodywork, Hawk louvres and dash, the rest was CAE FG parts. AFAIK, a Litton era chassis but with early CAE wishbones. A real Heinz 57.
Ok so I was wrong as usual
It just needs something from listerbell to complete the cocktail!

Lawrence Castle's (Vojx) was the only completed Corse I know of with a full set of Hawk bodywork fitted. The chassis kit was from the late Litton days prior to Hugh Carson resurrecting the project.
The Corse kit that was for sale on Gumtree recently also looked to have a full set of Hawk bodywork fitted but was still a bare kit so nowhere near finished. The origins of this one remain unknown.

Big thanks to everybody for all the advice on Saturday and for letting me park my very large backside in so many seats, the years have obviously caught up with me, getting in and out was not a pretty sight.
Griff I have sent a PM with my address.
I dont think Vojx is on this forum & when he is finished with his latest reincarnation of Sid there wont be much of the hawk panels left...
Long arms Chris and a camera with a suitable tilting rear screen.
Thanks for noticing,
Vince.

Surprised that there wasn't one from that angle with the Pirelli Ladies Vince....
Well, back from Silverstone late on Sunday. I'm now firmly of the opinion that I'm a rain god. Or the Stratos has ambitions to become a swimming pool again. It's not as bad as Stoneleigh last year but I've still got to remove all the interior to dry it out properly. I think I caught up with the rain that hit Silverstone on Saturday evening and headed off North overnight just North of Stafford and was reduced to 35mph max from there until I came out the other side half way up the M57. By the time I got home it had caught me again. There was standing water on the M6, multiple minor accidents and I had two "moments" getting spat sideways out of the nearside lane lorry tramlines with a lot of oversteer to correct it SCAREY. Just glad to get home in one piece really! Fortunately the heater and fan could keep the screen clear otherwise I would have had to park up somewhere..
Great to catch up with faces old and new though! See you all next year!
