Watched the " First Wild Bunch race 1994" in the video section and was impressed with the black BBC altered
Yorkshire "T" running 8's. Its one of my cars but not sure which one. Just got mail saying it was Chris Emmett. Does anyone know who he got it from and who he sold it to and where is it now?

Think you refering to Rob Emmett, Rob emigrated to the US & took the car with him.

Although Rob Emigrated to the States to crew on the NHRA circuit he didn't take the car with him, it was sold to the guys that owned the farm where he used to store it, the farm is just before the turning into Bozeat but the guy's names escape me (age related I suspect!).

So I guess the car is still in the UK somewhere

The guys from Bozeat did run the car for while. I saw them at a fireworks meeting with it and my freind seem to now him from school but we never saw them at the track again. that must have been 97 or 98.

Sorry for the wrong info! I always believed Rob took the car over there, just goes to show you learn something everyday!

Thanks for the great info guys-- that just shows how good this forum is 8)

Badger. Did it sell on fleabay?

I'm interested to know where Rob Emmett got the car from-- as i can only remember building one car for a BBC
which was the Porsche 924 bodied altered for the Haggas family which never ran.

This car was still For Sale at the National Finals this year at the Pod.

There was and ad on the toilet wall for sale section :lol:

It was at a good price if I remember too.
