    Re: Just looking through some old photo's

    Here you go Craig! A small photograph montage from two events. Apologies if it's not clear! Bottom left is my car in it's first incarnation with Geoff Turtons lime green Stradale (now owned by Mark Cowling) Gary Pickens round arch group 4 (Now known as Shades and owned by Tim Heath) and Austin Smith's red Stradale (Now owned by GTM Paul). I'm struggling to remember the venue but it would have been 92 or 93, one of first outings as the North West group.

    The remainder of the photographs are from Aintree taken in Spring 1995. The last day the car ran with a 2 litre Volumex motor. My favourite is the one bottom right...

    And here's the car at it's first outing at Donington Park in 1995 after conversion to Group 4 with Alfa 12v power. At the time it was John Rutter (development chassis) with Steve O'Keefe & myself as the conversion kit guinea pigs. So John's car was the first Hawk with an Alfa V6 fitted, Steve O'Keefe beat me to being the first on the road with a V6 by a few weeks as I was doing the bodywork at the same time!

    You'll note that the car is still on the same wheels - Compomotive TS501s. The conversion from Stradale to Group 4 saw the rear wheels moving to the front and the fronts fitted with wider rims going onto the back.

    Happy days!!

    I can see the plate now you say it's yours. For some reason I thought it was a round arch car from the angle of the shot.
    I first spoke to you at the Sandown park kit car show way back in maybe 1996? so I guess you were red with the square arches then?
    I think John Rutters car was there too, I saw it outside at some point.
    I was with Ultima at the time and managed to cut my finger pushing the car out of the hall (gull wings and door frames don't mix!), ended up in a late night trip to Milton Keynes A&E and 3 stitches.

    The white car with the newly fitted wheel arches and Italian plate is Nico's second car?
    The one 'The Stig' drove on TG.

    Re: Just looking through some old photo's

    I only ever did one show at Sandown Park Craig so I'll take you're word for it being '96, that was a log haul for the weekend. Traffic would be a right nightmare today! But yes, the car would have been Group 4 by then. But still Stradale dash and probably still had the Stradale seats rather than the OMP's it had later. Wish I had kept them for the new build... Hey ho.
