That is a good find Tim. A good trip to yesteryear.
So is that the sud Kev is restoring, or the shell you sold ?

That’s the one I sold Keith , a series 2, bravely put back together by Alfadave.

The Rockingham photo was that sud’s last race, I finished ahead of the other 2. It was a good race.

I remember one race at Silverstone , just 4 suds left, a huge grid of 33’s and we all ended up on 2 rows on the grid together and the suds were all white, we all finished as a small gaggle also.

Chris Baker had a lovely sud ti, but was an aggressive racer and it got battered to pieces, Steve fletcher bent his, the black one with blue stripe was a s1, James Burland, not sure if it survived, the blue sprints were both crashed, one I saw roll at my one trip to Lydden hill. The blue s1 sud got smashed up in a trailer accident on the motorway.

But, some of the others might still survive , who knows. I hope so.
