Assuming certain negotiations prove fruitless I will be going against everything I've ever said on how the Frankenhealey should look and I am going to turn it into a clown car like the pics below   It always has been undertyred considering the engine power but I always wanted a Q car, which it has been, but it's so well known locally that occasionally I sense the local speed boys don't want to play no more  So let's give it the wheels/tyres it has always needed Of course, if the negs are successful then I'll have no money for the Healey but something else to run up the hill. |

I reckon it's possible to get the fugitive there.... Then I wonder if I'm mad or an optimist?!  |

We were aiming to be there in our MGC, but nailing together a paying job in the shape of a 914 meant I ran out of time, however next year I fully intend to be there in it (or something else more interesting than the eunos)

RRG 2017 was my first effort at anything like this and has definitely sewn a seed. The Maestro Turbo conversion steamed up the hill 5 times and I vowed to try and chase another spot for RRG 2018. I'm currently in the 'running in' period for the latest MG Turbo conversion build but this time a Montego, hopefully a different model of car should be attractive enough to be successful during the booking process. Last years wheels.   The contender, about 90% finished.   |
