Magnum Body - Aston Power . . .

Wow a few years since I have seen that, good to see its still about

yep, its in there but not with turbos

Love that! Funny, of all the mods on that Magnum its the single lights that are standing out to me the most

How have I gone this long without knowing about this car? My life prior to this discovery seems rather incomplete now. Amazing!

It was never a front runner, quick, but there were lots of quicker cars out there, but it had charisma, it always stood out in the paddock, funny thing tho I don't remember it racing at Brands very often, It ran in the tricentol series i think, and never came south very often, despite being in the Luton area, but then again, a lot of the thundersaloon/special saloon ran in the Wendy Wools series, and also in the Kent Messenger series, but Not John Pope,

Epic in every single way possible!

Love that car and always have. *Self-plug mode* It'll be in a coming issue of TV. *Self-plug mode*

that grid is a funny thing to see.. several memory jolters there, The Yellow Imp, I think was Simon Sables, which was the 1000cc lap record holder at Brands, It had a Davrian floor pan and an imp roof, pillars and frames, that was about it, if its the same car, we owned it for a while with a Bevan engine in it, it was written off by my mate at Lydden while trying to get 3rd on the last lap, ran wide, and totally wiped its self out on Mabbs Bank,
Later we bought one of the March F5000 based Variant fast backs (Possibly the one Pictured), thay came with a Enderle injected Donovan headed 383 SBC, that engine lasted us 1 practice session, and a head water passage let go, hydrauliced the engine and left us with about 3" of crank still in the block, somehow we obtained one of Mick Hills spare engines, when we unpacked it, the engine turned out to be a Can Am engine from a still born Surteese Can Am project, it has the most beautiful Surteese rocker covers, and the engine number was SUR001, the whole VW experience was a nightmare, it had outdated tires when we got it, we changed the tires, but could not afford the track time and setup time to get them to work, topped by the fact we had the engine freshened up, it had been a dyno and test mule, the fella who was entrusted to do the work cocked up the plumbing on the dry sump, would run with pressure at low speed but drew air in at higher speed, we spent a fortune on parts, of course the engine builder said it was how it was plumbed when we gave the engine to him, we argued it was not, eventually we ran out of money, and was parked up in a lockup in Mottingham, forgotten about, and I seem to remember it surfaced in CCC in the 90s

I like it even better being the magnum.I don't think the arches would have suited the sweeping line of the roof of the firenza.Looks hard as f---k.
