I picked up this little beauty at the weekend. Hoping to do some form of racing and sprinting in the new year.. Nothing of it really, just tin and fibreglass and lovely little motor in the back, can't wait to get it on a track.. biggrin

That is lovely, a French Imp! Looks fantastic, is it original or restored?

It's an R8, but not as Audi know it wink

Good luck Tel! Looking forward to seeing it buzzing about next season smilethumbup

I know that car, used to belong to a couple of our (RAOC) club members. Used to run it at Prescot la vie meeting every May.
Barrie Whizzo Williams guest drove it one year.
Be good to have you come along if so.
Have loads of photos of it.

I thought it would be recognised Mark.. I certainly wish to use it as it was intended, needs a little TLC but it's still in reasonable shape. Any photos and info would be very welcome.!

Got the Renault 8 back to the workshop yesterday along with a mates AC. I'll be giving it a thorough going over and hopefully do a few sprints and hill climbs in the new year.. I'll need to check what it's eligible for though.
