I'll cut to the chase, I work for Janspeed and we are holding a 60th anniversary event in July. I have managed to get a hold of the owner of one of our old BTCC cars and I'd like to try and find out if any of the other BTCC cars from the early 90's grid are still about? Has anyone any idea how I might go about doing this? Any old Janspeed cars would be a plus as well but of course, they are also tricky to find!  |

would help to know what the car was ! I've tracked down the one of the BTCC Primera P10's, however any of the old BTCC cars would be great, hence why I didn't specify. |

BTCC Nissans, about 93/4 in DC Huges breakers yard in Bicester there were 2 brand new BTCC shells caged, with some rear suspension components, (CNC crossmembers) but not a lot else
I know a friend of mine was at one time preparing an ex factory Honda integra, (Matt Neales?) 2or 3 season after was championship winner, I think the drivers name was Green? and used to run a car affectionately known as Kermit? Hyundai
Time Attack racing series seems to have a couple of ex cars, and another placeto try would be TenTenths web sites good source of info.

I actually remember seeing those cars then on top of a pile but couldn't make out what it was . I think they were a bit battered if I remember but I would have only been 14 or 15. |

Motorsport magazine usually have ads in the back for old race cars.

Thanks for the help all!
I've been in touch with a couple of race series and other associated companies but not the super touring register yet, I will see if I can give them a shout. Problem being, understandably they can't give me details of individuals.

If you are coming to Retro Rides Weekender you can probably chat to some of the CTCRC folks, including some of the Super Touring cars  I'm guessing you mainly want Janspeed cars? I spoke to Ben Stapley with the 240Z and he has it in his diary now   |

Janspeed cars would be good but there are only so many of them still kicking about! Oh great news on the 240! Could you PM when you get a mo re the Datsun as would love to get in touch with Ben. Cheers for your help David! |
