    I improved my Allora back in '92 by replacing the whole thing with an Integrale. Made a massive difference.

    Trouble is they put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

    Same mistake I made with my Hawk back in 1988. I rectified by not buying an integrale but my moving the steering wheel to the correct side....

    I think this is the car Steve Greenwood mentioned designing:

    Steve designed the chassis & suspension, another guy named Richard Ashby did the body styling.
    It was commissioned by Sector Three Engineering but later sold to Quantum Sports Cars in one of their later guises. See HERE for more info.
    I remember Steve having a Robin Hood and a Caterham in Skipton whilst he was doing the R & D.
    I had a ride out in the Robin Hood, that car redefined the term under steer.

    It was a real clever design with the folded stainless elements. Same chassis underpinned the Napier
    ( Napiersports original product) and that body was penned by Richard Ashby too I think? Seem to remember a tale of woe about lighting positions having to be redesigned for IVA purposes.
