Indeed, from what I remember Martin rebuild that Thundersaloon from this:
To this:
And then back to original BTCC spec.
And he also build this Goode car from this:
To this:
Besides these he also had the Harvey Labatts car, Moffat ANZ car and one of the Eggenberger cars.
[edit] I believe this was the Eggerberger car before the rebuild:

Love these so much, it's nice to see that a few are still around. Was never too keen on the Thundersaloon look. A nice BTCC RS500 would do me nicely!
Wasn't the Labatt's Thundersaloon one the car that was used on the Top Gear BTCC feature a while back?

just asked if i can get some pics up of the labatts car in its current form so you can all have a look. we will be starting the rebuild early next year all being well full paint etc etc as close to its original spec as possible so theres going to be some tricky carbon pannels comeing up for sale!

I saw someone mention the escat was a mk2 escort when infact it was an xj220 engine/running gear in an escort cosworth shell..
Was never very reliable though i heard.
Mental case!

In the DVD I have of mine there is a Saph which has the same livery, from memory its the same driver too, that would of been 1993 though so not sure if that was before or after the Escort, I'll assume before

Derek Tyndall was the man responsible for the escat after his xj220 powered hill climb car got banned for beating everything that was going so he ripped it apart and threw it into the escos shell, so the story goes.
Was putting out over 800bhp at the time it was racing at combe in the special gt series, i heard he ripped the driveline out and went about building a home built 2 seater sports car effort but nothing has ever come of it and i think the project was scrapped.
