One of my fav's of the day, only seen 2 of these this year but they are epic!

 

is that the one that was on track at anglesey this year?

 

Yup, original Gordon Spooner prepared WRC RS.

Driven buy Gwindaf Evans back in the day. Awsome car!

 

Nah, that was a red one at Anglesey. Either that or its been painted and I've only seen the one car twice this year

Gwyndaf's the man

 

This one was at Croft on the Saturday, used to be white.

Top speed 110 mph but getting there on 6 speed sequential is rapid.

Competes in tarmac rallying now.

 

Was this gwindaf's car privateer or when entered in by ford?

As I'm sure my dad did gwindaf a engine for his maxi car I'll have to ask him again!

 

Not to sure mate but it wouldnt be the same engine now any way as the owner got it as a shell iirc and has built it up to what it is now.

You'll more than likely get massivewanger arrive in this thread soon and give you all the info as he is a fuckin nerd with info on um.

 

that looks awsome, like that more than the escort cosworth. think i might build one of them next lol

 

Can get the body kit in f/g now for around Ł1250 from MDA Motorsport, lad named Mat has built one of these up to an nice spec.

 

Lol!

Fair enough, it looks a proper bit of kit, bet its absolutely awesome to drive full chat!

 

It's the gear box whicc makes these cars so fast!

Be the only thing mine is missing when done but will be something I'll save for.

Even the owner of this on Saturday on the camp site admitted mine will be faster lol but he'll be faster off of the line.

 

might flog my escort to build one. looks the bollocks.

 

Cut the quaters off of yours n sell um for 1K then turn it into a cossie powered maxi.

Tried talking Mart into doing it to his already

 

Pop over when ya can Tony as I am also building one with me mate Sam.

 

That one has a field motersport engine in it I had a look round it at croft .

 

mart ent got the bollocks for that lol! good idea thow. could sell the front wings and bonnet aswell would pay for the conversion.... need a unit now lol

 

thats an awesome looking car

saw it on sunday and sounded and looked amazing

 

This a lovely looking car. I seen it at croft this year. It goes ok too,so 110 is the top speed then.

 

Na i think escort cossies look stunning.

 

seem it at croft its mint

 

I am not a nerd! Much

Yeah this is the one that's been at Croft a couple of times, used to be white. Very nice of the owner to bring it down for us for Sunday, was a nice chap.

Not got too much info on it yet, but I think it was built from a Group A car that was driven by a bloke called Neil Hiorns, then was later converted into a kit car. It's actually a bit of an oddball (as most of them seem to be), with earlier kit car roll bars and rear suspension, but with the later Maxi body panels on it. Also one of a handful of RHD shells, only very few of those. It's just undergone a full rebuild apparently too, and was looking exceedingly clean! Shame he couldn't take it out on track, but had a slight gearbox leak apparently, so didn't want to chance it.

The one at Anglesey was P2 FMC, which is an ex-Gwyndaf car, the one used on Ulster and the Manx in '97. That is a proper proper Maxi, with revised roll bars and things compared to the one above. Also has a seven speed version of the sequential box, just for good measure

 

Correct the car was owned and used by neil who runs ATM engineering, now prepares Subaru wrc's

 

Do you have anymore info on it Jim? Waiting for some stuff from the owner, but be interested to hear what you know of it, drop me a PM if you like

 

all Gwyndaf evan's rs2000's f2' and kit car maxis etc were built by the experts at Gordon Spooners who were known as GSE.
GSE built cars for Ford Motor Companys motorsport division Ford Motosport so you know how good they were,they also built rs2000's that were used in the european rally championship by the rally team that took over from ford motorsport running the world rally championship.
Gwyndafs top engineer is still available to work or advise on these special cars but not at Gordon Spooners any longer but at his own engineering company in Essex where else

 

They were not classed as a WRC car mate.

 

Yes, awesome motor....

I love it...

 

Indeed. Don't think they were ever used in the world F2 championships to my knowledge, unless there were any privately run cars. Were used on selected world championship rounds (RAC being the obvious one).

Sadly, they never had the financial backing they deserved really!

 

i would love one of these

or just the gearbox would be nice

 

bloody hell they look reeally nice!

 

and this guy is???

and the company he works today??

regards

 

YHPM

 

P2 FMC is owned and run by Guy Woodcock and is probably out rallying at New Brighton promenade in september it is a very nice piece of kit and i believe is one of the last spec cars, Also Guy has a MK2 historic rally car which he can peddle very well.

 

Guy's car is proper. Very late, with a pretty different shell to the one pictured above. Was the first works Maxi built for the British Championship, has the seven speed gearbox in it and a few very trick bits compared to a lot of the other cars.

Is he running it at New Brighton this year? I did meet him a while back, but can't remember if he said he was or not!

 

I know the chassis builder. lives round the corner to me. these were raced and were so fast they were quicker than wrc on some tarmac stages hence why they then got the rules changed to 1600cc. the last ones had 305bhp!!!

 

Defo love the look of that.I like the spot light pod.

 

I love this im gettin so tempted to do it to mine

 

I have dyno sheets at work of a 280bhp i4 that I am told was for gwndaf Evans, I have no reason to disbelieve my old man, I don't think he would make something so petty as this up

They never broke the 300bhp mark. 286 I beleive was the best seen from the 2.0l i4. The exhaust port is poor designed and needs larger valves which couldn't be changed for the f2000 regs.

 

Blast from a recent past this thread, was a cool car. We had a right good nosey at this one aye Jim

 

Damn right! Bloody lovely

 

It`s a nice white one over here too, was at the Ford show on Rudskogen this year
