Any news on the car ?

Hi Carl..
It is great to see you have the old girl. I was a trainee at TDR cars in late 87/90 when these cars was built, Donovans car was always my favorite looking car. We build a total of 3 cosy's for the BTCC group A which if honest wasn't so succesful, the yr before they was racing a Escort RS Turbo in the group B and if memory serves me right they came 8th in championship with that car and 4th in Group A with Tim Harvey driving it. It was this position that caused them to suddenly have such interest from drivers to build 3 cars in the yr. we was a total of 4 that built them, Me as trainee Graham as head fabricator Dick as engine, turbo and Gearbox builder and Terry mapping the chips. however we also hired in a car painter to paint the vehicles and a friend of terry's drove the lorry with the cars in.. hard times with many many hours of labour but it was a labour of love.
