It shouldn't be a racer...

I have so far failed to find a pic of the Peugeot 806 MPV that competed in the Spa 24hrs some years back...

I've always though old Nissan Cedrics were a pretty odd choice for race and rally cars. They look awesome though...

Maruzen Technica / Tomei 130 Cedric...


Maruzen Technica / Tomei 230 Cedric...


Even the early G31 Cedric hit the track...


They also got rallied. East African Safari rally...


Facelift 130 Cedric on the Shell 4000 rally in '68...

There's a picture of the frontend, too. Couldn't find it though ):

It was entered at Spa once, built with Supertourer-parts, which explains the stance ;D IIRC they didn't start at the race as there were problems with the high center of gravity.
Bet it was a reaction to a certain pair of swedish estates in the BTCC.



...one day I'll put the engine of a crashed Clio V6 in a stripped-out Espace mk3
Though I'm not sure wether
1. to keep it simple and just swap the lumps
2. throw in the whole Clio v6 drivetrain+transaxle+rear supsension
3. both.

Always thought it was a bit unusual to have the Ford Galaxie's and Falcons competing in England against the Cortina etc

So did I, until I saw stuff like this (and this) - epic Camaro/RS1600/Viva battle. It really is worth watching the whole race, beats the curse word out of BTCC IMO.

Also, look out for the other cars on the grid, some quite bizarre entries including a Mk1 Escort with a 3.0 V8??

I have a thing for cars that go against convention, cars that are treated to all the bells and whistles of racecar-dom despite being odd selections for such an automotive genre.

I have dirty thoughts about building a W123 into a caged-up, stripped out, ally-lined, V8 powered track car...just, well, because.

Show us your examples of race-prepped cars (be it for a pro class or just for the sake of it) that you really wouldn't think would work.











and the inspiration for this thread...
