It would be much cheaper to buy a ready built ZR to go racing https://www.mgcc.co.uk/trophy/race-cars-for-sale/ But Thomas does love his 75s Cheers Ian |

You may remember that you have asked for advice about the 'gage' problem on another thread . ....... Which is still open . If you have solved it , then please tell us so, on the thread that posed the problem . Otherwise well meaning members may be wasting their time suggesting solutions for you. It is annoying when this happens .. you are not the only one by any means . As my time is 50 times more valuable than yours I will now leave you to your restorations , and not wait for the answers to my other questions . Omega . |

Thanks, it’s been a few years since Willie passed on. His son inherited the ZT and yes, there were photos. I do not have them. I seem to remember that Willie spoke with Kaiser for technical advice about the transplant and he would know more about it than I do. If you search for Woodgoat in the club’s archives you could find the photos etc, in there. It was one of those jobs that took a lot of doing, many many hours and required perfection to get it right. It’s not for someone with multiple projects like Thomas, but what do I know

No. Age restrictions maybe. If the seat wasn't high enough to let the driver see properly the car would probably fail scrutineering. There are lots of vertically challenged race drivers - most Formula 1 drivers, for example.

For instance here's a very small lad with a very famous grandad that made his racing debut a couple of years ago https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2...-championship/ In most race series you need to be of driving age (17 in the UK of course) but some classes are aimed at youngsters and they can take part in full blown circuit racing at 14 years old and even younger in some short circuit classes.

You can race Ministox from the age of 11 up to 15
http://www.nationalministoxclub.co.uk/index.htm Might be a little late for you to get involved though Thomas

I think 190-200 max is the best you can hope for from a 3.5 on SUs.. Remember the standard 3.5 was only about 160 BHP.. when I had my V8 I was often left eating the dust of Golf GTis and Astra GTEs. Cheers |
