orning all as a beginner to this stuff on the flat top please make allowances,i've been the custodian of a genuine 1970-1980s racing Camero.
It consiste of the front clip and sign written bodyshell.This car was campaiged successfully in this period,the previous owner a Martin Dilks of DB Motors Raing team aiso had one or two dragsters aswell.When i purchest this some 20 odd years ago i decided i would like to put it back on the track one day.but due to circumstances this aint going to happen for me.Im trying to peace togeather the provonce of this car as
i have to let someone else have the oppertunity.I was told it competed in the trans american cup, Brssc events,and other races in this period.There is a scrut ticket on windscreen but i have a hard time decifferin it.Bassically is there somebodies still chuffin on this planet that can remember this car as its so distictive.This car was dissasemmbled by Martin,stored in his house and i have stored it covered up in the back of my workshop ever since.I would love to get information,better still pictures .I do know the reg on the car was CUT7 before it was sold off back in the day.The team was based around Melton Mowbery,and the bussiness supplied american carparts to US millatery people and uk owners,meaning it was well known.

No mention of Camaros but seems like a lead.

In the UK it would have been Motoring News and Motor Sport. Motor Sport do have an online archive. I asked around some of the guys i race with about your query but nothing was forthcoming.

I haven't followed roundy roundy racing since the Guards trophy races would pit Mustangs, Camaro and Firebirds against Lotus Cortinas and Mini's many years ago - kinda lost interest for ma few decades after that - CUT 7 registration has appeared on quite a few high-end racers over the years - perhaps post the question on the respective Pistonheads forum? - look on Goodwood archives?
