G15 FIA HTP- Race History

[Stakhanov]

Long shot? One of the UK mags( Triple C, Motor?) apparently ran an article on Alison Davis and her G15 (either Modsports or Prodsports) back in the late 70s or early 80s. I'm looking at the possibility of obtaining an HTP for a G15. After initial discussions with the Tech scrutineer at the RAC it's clear that if any progress is to be made then I'm going to have to prove the competition history, ie the spec the cars ran in. Detailed photos are thin on the ground, apart from the Drastic Plastic race car thread, but John Woods has told me he recalls such an article... Anyone remember/have a copy? As I say- long shot!

Thanks Mike- Tried there, not much response, plenty of memories, not many photos or documentation unfortunately.

Hi John
Yes it would be a pity if we can't get FIA papers to allow G15s to race in historic events- when Midgets, MGBs spitfires and the rest (that couldn't touch a good G15 back in the day) can race. I have the CCC from 1978 with the article on David Beams Prodsports car, but it's not the Twin 40s full race spec I need to establish. Do you have any archive material/photos/letters anything that would satisfy the RAC initially (then FIA)? Close up photos of race G15s seem scarce, I've found nothing helpful so far. Any idea of the date of the Alison Davis article or the mag it was in?

Hi Chris

Thanks for the scanned article- that's helpful, just have to put it all together and see what the RAC says. I think Mark Walklett may also be looking into this
