Nice one mate i don't think there be many that are original nowJames3990 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 4:11 pmIt will be good to see a thread when you get chance.JOHNDQ wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 1:14 pmUnfortunately no it's not an original Dunlop car. I've been to see 2 of those cars and the body's are so battered they needed re-shelling in fairness so I've bought a low mileage GTi to build myself. I've checked with the MG cup who said it's fine as not many of the cars racing are still using the original factory prepared shells and in fairness there only standard shells that had some extra welding and no sunroof. I will be doing this car separate and the plan is probably around summer time to sell my R8
I'm doing a very similar thing, an ex-Dunlop 220 Coupe that got reshelled into a 218VVC shell but not to a very good standard.

Re: Track R8 214 Sprint
I know you have a Dunlop GTI now John, but do you still have this car?
Just curious to know where/what's happened to it since being side tracked

Re: Track R8 214 Sprint
Yes still have it all tho it's not been touched for close to 3 years I'd say. Funny enough I got a message about 2 weeks ago saying the bushes have grown over half of it so I do need to go dig it out at some point while off work over the Christmas break
