Hi All, we have bought and started to run a Fiat Topolino Altered, last raced with the WIld Bunch back in 2003, its number was 265, painted yellow with red flames and was owned by Paul Martin.

Does anyone know of its history at all please or any pictures?

Thanks Fester,

We just hope we are going to live up to the hype lol. Although we are new to being active in the sport we do love to be involved in the media,

Our lil ol Comp Altered has now appeared in a Music Video for a girl trio called Fresh as Tommi to be released erly 2009, been photohraphed for apple bottoms clothing (owned by Pop star Nelly), we took it to the International Modified and Performance show at Ally Pally last month and won Best Modified, and had a large spread in a London weekly newspaper. Just gotta get on the track and win some races now lol

Looking at that nose I'd say it's the old High Anxiety car. I took this pic at North Weald Aug '86 when Dave Chapman was running it........

Thats fantastic, a coincidence that Adz (the driver) was born in 1986. If anyone has any more info/pics/history it would be very much appeciated
