We nearly bought the bits of him as we were building one at the time (he was re-shelling it) but I'm not sure what happened to it after that - don't think it ever saw the light of day again.

That was at the end of Group G/beginning of PRC and TR7 V8s were not homologated to Group A so were not eligible to run. We ended up building a TR7 Sprint which was homologated with the 16 valve Dolomite Sprint engine.

Sanity eventually got the better of us and we turned it into a marque sports car and raced it instead. The TR7's handling is diabolical on the gravel - short wheelbase and long overhangs.

Still want to build a V8 - unfinished business.

Was playing with PRC in NSW in 84. I might have a dig through the (real hardcopy) pics to see if I can find our old Mk1 RS2000
