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!!
