That guy is a hero. I've always wanted to do one myself, takes me back to the TOCA touring cars days.

Epic project, just a shame it's not the Estate version.

Reminds me of going to Brands as a kid watching Tim Harvey, Alan Menu etc racing.

I got Rickard Rydell's signature at Brands. And a bottle of Old Spice and flag from the Alphas.

That's so cool!

 

[jam.]

f**k me - that is truly epic

 

[Naith]

love it, someone keep updating this so we can see how he gets on...

 

[Eddie.]

So so awesome! Takes me back that does!

 

[Christopher]

Proper.

 

[Englebert]

Not sure about that. The '95 Volvo meant it was a supertourer, right? Absolutely epic machines and shared essentially nothing with the road going car.

I would love this if it it was a proper giant killer, but by the looks of things on track it would be no quicker than your average hot hatch.

 

[Goodj]

Makes me think a BTCC Toledo rep isn't the most stupid thing anyone's thought of.

 

[Kam.]

I was expecting the cage to replicate the original. I think it will be a far cry from a proper replica other than it will share the same stickers. Turning out to be a nice track car though.

£75K per clyinder head IIRC on the volvo

thickness of those cage tubes lol

he's now sold it (or trying to sell it) unfinished

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

I f**king hate looking through 15 odd pages of a project only to find it nowhere near finished. Just ended up a stripped out and fully caged 850. Far from a BTCC rep. Shame as I love these cars.

 

[geordieracer]

I think you missed the point. He was going to make it a BTCC rep, and then as he explained, a few factors meant he had to sell.

 

[AdamR]

Yeah, the car went to a chap in Wales a few weeks ago, as Andrew was struggling to get info about suspension and engine parts Bought my Clio from me instead, going back to what he knows

 

[Naith]

mega shame, was thinking bout this t'other day

 

[Daniel]

Its a shame it never took off, but i'm pissed off I just wasted my time trawling through 15 pages for nothing.

no s**t! I was already pissed off with the fact he was gonna fit some PROPER shite wheels though.
