ENGINE

New inlet valves, new exhaust valves re-cut valve guides, rocker arms, injection pump belt, timing chain, main bearings, chain tensioners, flywheel, high compression pistons (10.5 – 1), HT leads, re-bored cylinder barrels to 85mm, throttle linkages Camshafts and much more.

The car was built into this specification during 2004 /2005 by Dave Wright, a professional rally car mechanic with significant Porsche experience. Many of the parts including the cage, engine, gear box and suspension were sourced from Francis Tuthill’s workshop.
The object was to provide a strong reliable car which could tackle both long distance and shorter regularity rallies with the minimum of on-event maintenance. That this was achieved can be seen from the cars results, it is a front running car in any of today’s international historic regularity rallies.
