I’ve dug through the archive and found the photos of the “Jagermeister” CSL build. I’ve added these to the “Cars at CCK” page. Or click here.
Nash Metropolitan race car shell painted
Today we rolled the Nash Metropolitan race car shell out of the paint shop. It looks absolutely fantastic. Some might say it was far too nice for a race car, but not us. We like ’em shiny.
Preparation of Lumbertubs
Lumbertubs is at CCK for race preparation. We’ve put a new bonnet on the car with the classic BRM paint job so not to damage it’s original. We are building an engine for it and will also be setting up the suspension. Lumbertubs was built in the 60’s and features a custom made aluminium GT roof and a fibreglass Sebring bonnet.
Painted Metropolitan
The Nash Metropolitan has been painted. The colour chosen was the original Nash colour Berkshire Green over Frost White. 8 litres of 2k was ordered and expertly applied by our very own Ian Goodwright. Inside and out received a coat of GN08 Berkshire Green before getting masked off for the WT1 Frost white two-tone.
Darren Turner and James Turner bring Ford Zodiac to CCK
Racing driver Darren Turner and his good friend James Turner have brought their 1959 Ford Zodiac to CCK. This classic Ford is believed to have been a race car since the 1970’s and although it has been well prepared their are few things we will address in order to provide Darren and James with a competitive and reliable car for the up coming HRDC “Touring Greats” race series. Darren is most well known for his two class wins for Aston Martin at Le Mans, he says he enjoys historic saloon car racing as a relaxing weekend. We will be looking after the Zodiac and supporting James and Darren for the 2012 season.
James Turner said,
“Darren and I have known each other since we worked together at Aston Martin Racing in 2005 – he was one of the team drivers and I was commercial director. Since then we have had a lot of fun together and I guess that Darren’s first appearance at the Goodwood Revival Meeting (in the Mini and Cobra in 2009) sparked his interest in historic racing. We talked about getting a car together and the Zodey is the result. Julius Thurgood at HRDC could not have been more helpful in advising us and so we are keen to support his excellent HRDC series as much as possible. We only did a few things last year in what was my first season of racing but I did manage to luck into a class win on my solo debut at Brands – so it must be a good car! We had admired the CCK approach each time we saw them during the year and we were delighted when the chance to put the Zodey with them arose at the end of the season. We can’t wait to get the old girl back out again and doing some more races…”
