FYI - AH BJ8 super car for sale

I thought you would find this interesting. There have been articles on Jim's car in a number of U.S. based publications. This advert. covers some of the special things on the car but doesn't begin to tell the whole story. No financial interest on my part.

I think I remember a photo of that car with an engine fire.

Ah Spare's site is down at the moment, but I know the car. It's a well engineered car and a great build, but a car that really has a limited use. It wouldn't be accepted to most vintage racing grids and a little more then you would want for classic street time and distant rallies. So that leaves the occasional hill climb events or if you have deep enough pockets, I suggest the La Carrera Panamerica....I'd be happy to co-drive with anyone able to buy the car and put a team together.:eagerness: https://lacarrerapanamericana.com.mx/home/

Dougie, yes the La Carrera Panamerica would be a great venue for that car! Jim has participated in many Open Road type events (I've run a few too.. very fun) and hill climbs in Texas. I particularly liked his story of be being dismissed at the driver's meeting as driving an old slow English car by a high end Italian car guy (I think it was a Lambo, or a Maserati) ... the Italian car driver thought the old English car might get in his way .... right up until Jim blew them off on the road in a very decisive power display... that had to be worth the price of admission .

Here's a short clip of Jim participating in a Pikes Peak Hill Climb.
