PostPosted: Sat Jul 03, 2010 12:44 pm 
Attached are a couple of photos taken of the SPRINTPARTS Car 42 after a complete re-paint and engine rebuild. The project was started at the beginning of November last year and completed three weeks ago. Since the photos were taken the series sponsors sign writing has been added.

Hi Jeroen, The reason there are no photos of the right is the area where we had to photograph had insufficient space to get a good photo. Just for the record the right side looks just like the left.... except mirror reversed!!!!

You have to admit that Philip's son, Christopher, takes a VERY GOOD photo.

Mark

PS. I think that he should sell these photos in poster form, any takers??

Well after one race meetings since the rebuild, a diff failure in practice for the next race meeting meant another frustrating weekend.

To this end after 29 years of ownership, the number 42 car is for sale. So if anyone is interested in an ex-BTCC Dolomite Sprint with long history of racing in Australia and which has only ever been a race car from new contact me. Price is A$55000 and you will need to arrange freight from Australia.

I am not sure this is the right decision to make but I want something faster and more reliable.

Philip
