Does anyone know who these guys are or if the car still exists?

It started a 20 year passion for a group of people, so it would be great to know what happened to the 'original' idea.....

On a similar note, do Swindon Resin Racers still attend, and what happened to their fleet of Gulf liveried Reliant Robins?

Also Messers Seymour Vadge and Waddington Minge with their gullwing door Maestros?

I think the estate car became a Volvo after the Cortina

Different crew - our crew!

The spitfire started 20 years of Cortina’s, a Volvo and an XJ6.

But we never saw that spitfire again.
