Torqueman Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I love this install - it just looks so clean for what it is. Really impressed with the manifold and turbo wrap - does it still look that good? No, the wrap will last maybe a season. I painted it with heat paint, that helps it to look new for a longer time, but in the end it will desintegrate, specially if you drive it hard for longer periods. For this season i will try a ceramic heat coating in black (is the strongest colour they say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Keene Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 WOW! where can I find out more about this one please? Thanks to everyone for posting the pics AWESOME! Some beautiful toys there chaps Ah, The Flymo. Was built in the early-mid ninties for the British GT Championship, which it was promptly banned from for being to fast. Runs a mahosive Rover V8, 5300cc if memory serves, with throttle body fuel injection. It has also got custom made wide tack front suspension that is so comically wide it has to be seen to be believed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually built by Andy Dawson on behalf of Mike Smith with Tony Lanfranchi as co driver. Wish I could have driven it like him tho' Porkie, here's a video at Croft for your interest.
