Great news , we had Gonzo on display at the Custom Car allstar nationals back in 2005. I can remember watching it back in the early 80's,its got to be about 27 years old now.

Great pictures by Richard, as usual.

I was amazed to stumble across 'Gonzo' in '88 or '89, racing at the US Airbase at Geibelstadt, near Würzburg. They ran well, as I recall, but it's a pity I've not got any pictures to share.

It's just a shame they've been away for so long - here's a video clip of Ian laying down a cracker of a run in Gonzo:-
