I was around the team when the car was being built; Ian Frazer had an influence on the design and it was built by an engineering company near Hitchin, Herts(Ian Frazer lived near Hitchin). It was rear-ended to make it flex more and put the power down better and it went pretty well. It had quite a few drivers - can't think of anyone to add to the list.
The Skilton/Priddle rivalry was amazing, Clive going rear engine and Dennis staying front engined.
I dont think anything since has equalled it ?

Jon you put a photo on the forum a while back,I think of what looked like the Sidewinder car with an inline engine,after reading the article about a unique in line model,maybe it could have been one of these?
A nice shot from Custom Car of the chassis plus the car that judging by the roll cage could be an Econorail chassis,wonder how many were sold.

Heres a front end shot Neil Patterson took at almost the same time as Timetravels side on one, featured earlier, from the 73 Blackbushe meeting.

Clive giving Roland a hand on Rev 3.
Does anyone have anymore info on what happened to Rev 3? It's mentioned in this thread it was cut up, important car in UK history.

Jon, I'm pretty sure the info I posted about it being cut up are correct, various parts (axle, steering box etc) were sold on or used in other car builds.
I had a mail from TY this week and I'll ask him when next I see him, VH and TY delivered the car to DP's just before the comp products car arrived..
