I remember that car when it was called "Hot Wheels" and driven by Chris Wishart.
yeah i think it spent more time on fire than racing!

Chris was very helpful with sorting the paperwork for me to export the car to UK, he is a good chap

I grew up in Edgworth. So hopefully I’ll see the car out and about. There are some brilliant roads close by.

The Grane Rd is 50mph with average cameras, Broadhead Rd out of Edgworth up to the Grane is good fun, There is a good “lap” you can do using the Grane and turning off to Helmshore and over the moors into Ramsbottom.

Haha give it a go, Greensarms Rd is decent but can be busy with walkers and cyclists, Rivington is good too but again can be busy and the road surface is poor, You’ve probably chosen one of the best places to live up here for access to decent roads although driving through Chapeltown can be a PITA laugh

Grange Road is no good for a hoon, as another poster said.
But, if you join from the Blackburn side, follow it for about 2 miles then turn right at Grey Mare pub, that Road is much better.

That’s Broadhead Rd, he will approach it from the other way from where he lives and end up at the Grey Mare.

What a machine! would love to see this! It's Pendle Powerfest this Sunday it's fully booked for display cars but if you can get it in next year I'm sure it would be extremely well recieved. All proceeds go to Pendle side Hospice check it out, it's £5 to enter taking place in Nelson & Colne College.
