Hi,

Berts car bearing in mind its a race car is resonably quite, the turbo's have a lot to do with that. Never found a video featuring her yet.

Classic Monthly ran a series on this car,in 2007.

Diane's car use to be turbo charged when Phil ran it in the RVDRA ( Rover V8 Drag Racing Association ) but always seam to struggle getting it to hook up, dont forget this was back in the early 90's and turbo technology has come a long way since them. I have a video of this car running but Alec's got it the moment to copy it.Got a picture of this car in a magazine of the time -




Cheers John

Syol,

I like many would love to see the Le Mans car back at the Classic Le Mans, but I am sure if you asked Bert about attending its all or nothings. Bert his a racer by heart and like many would be very interested in racing his Le Mans car on the circuit.

I am sure this addition Trumph entry if possible would be good for the Classic Le Man in 2014.
