PostSubject: Car of the year etc   Mon Jul 20, 2009 12:28 am

We're over half way through the year now and with one or two quite amazing motors being raced what do you think is gonna be up there with the best?...

Dan Weeks - Jaguar XJ40 Hearse - 1st Jag Hearse to race
Hugo raven - Volvo 142 Hearse - 1st Volvo 1 series Hearse to race
Alan Cartwright - Humber Hawk Limo - Only 2 made,this was the last remaining (He raced the first)
Mark Thomas - Triumph Stag - Joint 1st to be raced.
Scott Saunders - Triumph Stag - Joint 1st to be raced.
James Dillon - 1932 Austin ascot - Joint oldest car to be raced (77 years)
James Ellis - 1932 Hillman Minx - Joint oldest car to be raced (77 years)
James Ellis - 1948 Chevy Fleetline - First of its type to be raced,think it was different to Mr Butts
Simon Fixter - 1950's Armstrong Siddeley 18HP Limo - First to be raced,different to the Sapphire limo's

Just a quick drawn up list so i may have missed something. These are all above and beyond but what about those which are epic but not amongst the top lot?....(not including Yanks as there are too many which are awesome)...

A135 Princess Limo,Volvo 262 Coupe x2,Daimler Majestic X3,Austin Princess Hearse,Merc 380SL Coupe,Merc Minster,Cortina Camper,Lanchester LJ200,40's Ford Pop,40's Ford Prefect,Phase 1 and 3 Standard Vanguard's,Daimler DB18 x2,Volvo P1800 Estate,Mk1 Zephyr,1939 Morris 10M,1940's Standard Flying 14HP,Rover P3,1930's Wolseley on stilts,Rover P5 limo(homemade) Austin A55 Fintail Limo (homemade) Volvo estate minster (homemade)

Then there's new stuff like the first few Mk3 Mondeo's,first newer shape Supra,the first two Mk5 Granada Hearses and the first two new shape Cedric's. Suppose if we include homemade stuff the Mondeo limo should be here.

Should be a few in pre 70 meets to come i'd expect Deek,the seemed to stand up well.

Stories and rumours suggested that there are some stunning motors still to be raced -

Matt Godden's P5 Hearse (Its apparently been sold on though for 3 grand!)
2x Roller Limo's although 1 may not be correct,1 is supposed to be a 6 door and is like the queens and should be raced at Firecracker this year.
Usha wants rid of his Jag Estate i believe.
A Humpback desoto from the 30's may be raced at this years Blockie,if not its owner may be looking at selling it.
Coupe limo going to Ippy world courtesy of Ellis.
Posh Wash apparently tooled up for Blockie although they aint said what.

I got it wrong about the Desoto,the driver is taking a Plymouth Savoy to Blockie and is keeping the Desoto for now. I know Jim asked about it on the stock pile thread. Still no idea who the driver is and all this was written ages ago.

Only know of a 4R and 2 Jags,i'm not really up to scratch as far as whats going,got a fair idea of who though.

Perfect chance for Blower to race his Roller i guess? Psycho in a Westy? Jim in something rated,although the thing i'm thinking of is surely too soft for post and rope? Can't think of any more.
