today i have a quite tricky request:
some years ago we bought a project from a guy with nickname "racer tony", it seems that he was well known in the turner sportscar scene and we are searching the background / history 7 origin of the used chassis.
registration 932 AHO, last onwer Anthony Broon
before Raymond Hunter London
1. Rebuilt-assembled from parts some or all of which were not new
here a pic where a Tony broom is named and maybe also shown?
the original txt underneath the above pic was:
Photo taken at Silverstone in the 1980s (?). Tony Broom identifed the second Turner from the left in both photos as also being VUD701 in its almost final guise. Only the chassis is original and had a full space frame (a la Mallock) laid over it. Driven in this Birkett Relay Team by Tony. Also the fellow half hidden behind Chris Goodwin is former Turner racer and Team Manager on the day Nick Buckenham.
what i dont understand is, if the mentioned Tony Broom is our Anthony Broom aka "racer tony"
now to the car:
the car has a spaceframe chassis, upper main chassis rails are laying rectangular tubes, lower chassis rails are upright rectangular tubes, also some round and squre tubes are used, a full body which used some remainings of a chrashed turner, incl. its V5c.
the car was sold by Tony with this text:
it was built from the remains of racing turner that had a serious acc years ago. it was rebuilt on the dastle Chassis that was orignally dest rumbles own HWM sports car replica before pressure of work overtook, similar to a BLACK BRICK Modsport Chassis with double wishbone front Suspension utilsing Ford uprights and Delta Wing five link rear suspension axle . it has a rocket gerbox
in a phone call with tony years ago he told that a new formula ford (turbo?) series was planed, Dastle built a chassis, but the race series was never established and the chassis was obsolete.
the car was complete, ex engine. enginebay, engine mounts where prepared for a pinto. we dropped a pinto in and it fitted straight away.
interesting features are: front suspension and wishbones (geometry and material), rear suspension for controlling the live-axle, plus extreme long trailing arms...which look a bit mallock like. chassis seems to be brazed instead of welded.
full foam racing tank, the pdeal box and some other details indicate that this car was built with racing 7 track use in mind.
below some pictures. (the forum unfortunately dosnt show all....here also the links).
