Thats right tim,the flat front yellow one,was a rothmans car

If was worth nothing back then.

When the car had archs smashed up at race meets the rothmans stripes were under archs.

I deffo have the sureguard issue at home

but dont have a scanner

. If a moderator wants to pm me their address I can send a very good quality colour photocopy so that it can be posted up for everyone's benefit.

Funny how certain articles stick in your mind.

I saw those cars race at Brands they were quick - wonder where they are now?

Try Fibresports, if they dont do one just get the same rears as mine and modify / make a set of fronts.
Do love the look of flat front, hard as fook, just not as good aerodynamically as the droop snoot.

where did you get the rears from mate ?

Hey Dan,

you might be interested to know that your Dads old Thundersaloon is still alive and well and is about to be resUrrected as an out n out beast for next season.
The pictures of the car below are of the car as it is today and its original red and white paint scheme have been butcherd by someone in the past. The atlas axle has been replaced with an English and the brakes have been robbed, apart from that its all original.
If anyone has any more info or history or even know where the Hart engine is then please let me know
