Good spotting Thomas. I hadn't noticed that the mirror control was not switchable. Does anyone know what UK S2 spec was regarding door mirrors?

Also, the presenter in the video states that the car is .... 'believed to be one of only two registered remaining'.... :roll: Say what???

Where do they get their information from?

The trophy winner that year was green. The guy had only recently purchased it and was talking about selling it already on the day!

This car was racing at Donington last weekend. I can't recall seeing it before? Anyone know anything about it?

That's Tony Ellis' special saloons and modsports car. I really want to get to a meeting to see it in action! I believe the engine is by WGT.
