TT Racer
Brought to England from a Japanese collection this magnificent race car was brought to us to be re-commissioned for racing. The car was a great advocate for not modernising the design of these great cars, for at its first B.D.C scratch handicap race it won, due largely to the immense driving skills of Brent Jackson proving that old is best.
The car having had an engine overhaul took the very same win the following year despite a heavier handicap. This was due in our eyes to the increase in power we gave it although Brent put it down to his driving!
