Then it pissed down all afternoon and ruined all our hard work! It did look good for the morning though.

So far the car has done 450 mile.

Drove to Cumbria & back.

And to croft & back.

Entered concours twice and 2 first places.

Been faultless and uses hardly any fuel. Has had 2 oil changes. Once reached 800 mile the car will be set up and have a clutch fit and then can be used. Will be going to Combe and national day.

Paul, once we took all the weight out of the back of the car (as it's been loaded permanently since April) and took the weight off the suspension for a week it's come back up again and back to how it was before we started the show season.

Cheers Lee. 1 more year of concourse then she retires and gets used!

It's coming back out for a few little jobs doing on it Glenn. We've done a few niggles on it already but still have a couple of issues to fix and then it needs a set up and she can sleep for the winter then. We only have until October to do everything on it though as thats when the tax runs out.

This is a gorgeous car and its the inspiration for my project. I googled RS1600i images and this stuck out! Its saved in my phone for every time i look at my starter car.

Can I ask what colour is it? I am having mine painted and want that red.

You need to ask in the relevant sections mate. There is a technical question area and a parts wanted area.
