A30 racer rebuilt

[racingenglishcars]

I'm posting this here more as a general interest rather than racing. It just happens to be a race car.

Back in 2003 a local racer with a very beautiful and fast A30 race car...

had a small accident...

The result of which wasn't pretty...

But apparently rebodying the car wasn't an option, so 6 years later it showed up at the same track for the same event looking like this...

Donn--

Great come-back! Hope that doesn't happen to mine!

As John-Peter knows, I'm building an A35 racer right now (he helped me locate the car).

More about my car --HERE--

And here's some pics of it at various stages. I am hoping to have it out for the '10 race season.

Mini wasn't paying attention, now, was he?
Too hot on the inside, wooooppppppsssss, locked them up....looks like the A-30 heard him coming, wobbled, realized he had nowhere to go at that speed, and got tagged.

Wonder it there were some fisticuffs in the paddock after?
