I thought the site had been cleared some of the buildings are there but the rest have gone.
read it in a magazine in an article about boreham.
Also I didn't think boreham ever had anything to do with building touring cars?
thought it was all farmed out to rouse, then Ray mallock, prodrive and one other I can't remember

regards,
steve

Ive asked Cosworth Direct , who built the engines i need, but they aren't very helpful on this subject.
Ford took back the project from WSR after Reynard had quit at the end of ' 98 and handed the task to prodrive , all the left over Reynard cars were stripped at Fords and the shells re-painted, like mine as a demo car .With this in mind there will be upto 20 QC /D V6's floating around , some will have found there way into kit cars but the bulk of them will be somewhere with a sheet over them . Prodrive not only redesigned the car, they built their own engines !!
The Reynard type engine i need should be the easy one to find !
By the way Ray Mallock never had anything to do with these , Rouse , Schubbel , Reynard and Prodrive were responsible for building them .West surrey racing ran the cars for Ford from '96-98 , this is the era of my car .

Cheers Gareth , ive spoken to Alvin a couple of times . his cars are both Prodrive cars and use different components , ironcally my car came from Him and his business partner , they bought All of the ex-Ford cars in order to finance the 2 prodrive cars , big money ! Im almost sure they have no Reynard compatible parts tho , shame because if hes racing a group c car he'll need all the cash he can get !
Cheers

Tony

a guy from Cosworth regularly puts stuff on ebay - he may be the man to speak to rather than the normal monkeys - I think he goes under the name cosworth ltd - recently had a bare new head on there.

worth a try
