Ok. Here it is. Show us all your old cars.
- Thread starter Tony Lockhart
- Start date
The G15 is being built to compete in the CSCC 'Swinging Sixties' Championship. It will have a dry-sumped 1068cc motor running a Hartwell 410 cam coupled to a 5 speed transaxle with straight cut dog face engagement gears.
Probably the best known 'Imp Man' these days is Dennis Alt (who used to work with Ian Carter). He does my transaxles.
Sadly Team Hartwell are long since gone.
Dave Van der Vlist (Dutche Components) is still around - I use him for parts.
I build my own race engines (I own 'Priestess Race Engines') - Roger Fabry of 'Sabre Heads' does my cylinder heads for me.

My first car was a Reliant 3/25, on a motorbike license of course.

Pure utility but actually drifted really well on roundabouts with crossply tyres. It WAS good fun.

Some superb cars, and pics already. Continuing with the +2 theme, this was a project of mine a few years back.
I was devastated to see the paint crack on mine after we went back to fibreglass and the gelcoat had been filled with supposed crackproof stuff....within a year there were lines everywhere....

My mum's first car was a Regal; same as you on a motorbike licence.
The only thing I remember about it was trying to get in to the car park on top of Coventry Indoor Market and it being too light to trigger the automatic barriers! We had to get half a dozen people to stand around the car to get them to lift.

I could push start mine by myself on level ground, often needed as the starter motor bendix was not very reliable.

Excellent, I still have a G20 which I hope to get out with this year. And I need to find a sensible series for the Radikal prosport. There used to be a couple of G15s running in the 750 MC Roadsports series a few years ago, was one of them you? I think my brother used to do the Birkett relay with a team who had one also.

Stunning machinery, those Alfas. The 75s sounded amazing.

Aye, right.
The 75 3.0 was the best car I have owned. Lovely engine with loads of torque. It was a really well balanced car and handled beautifully. I had three and sold the last one when I moved to Paris and bought a scooter
I'd give my left testicle to be able to afford to run any one of these Alfas today. My current transport is an old Civic 1.6SE

Thanks for the memories. Can't seem to find prints of my old cars.
Had the 'Sud Sprint 1.5 Veloce and 75 2litre.
Sprint - Slim pedals, close together, offset to the left. The raspy free revving boxer.
75 - roof mounted power window switches, last of the real wheel drive Alfa.
