This thread needs pics.

This thing has it all, 5 cylinder howl, cool livery and it's from the golden era of BTCC.



And purely on looks..



Did they put the 5 cylinder T5 lump in the BTCC S40?

Normal S40s of that era came with the 4 pot T4 engines...

When I was growing up and watching what was (back then) the Network Q/RAC World Rally, there was only one car and one driver as far as I was concerned:


This car is responsible for turning me into a lifelong Force fan
(annoyingly, I used to have a lovely hi-res of that picture from the internet but it doesnt seem to exist any more)


And no VSCC meeting is complete without complete without Chris Williams and his bonkers Napier Bentley!
