A Bentley R Type came in with starting trouble. Turns out the car has two cracked starter motor brackets and has stripped the teeth on the flywheel. New brackets and flywheel are on there way.

CCK welcomes Victoria Beever to the team.
We very pleased to welcome Victoria Beever to team CCK. We shall be looking after Victoria and her Rover 105 “Bluebell” in the HRDC Touring Greats race series. Victoria has been racing with the HRDC since 2011 and took part in her first Goodwood Revival in 2012 with Desire Wilson. We look forward to working with Victoria, developing the Rover and hopefully getting her a little further up the grid.
Tuning Gavin Watson’s Bordward Isabella
Gavin has been very busy building a twin carburetor setup for his stunning 1500cc Borgward Isabella. A very rare car with a very rare engine. Over the winter Gavin found some extra oomph with a straight through exhaust and air feed to the single down draught carb. Now he’s got two Solex carburetors. Graham has been working on the rolling road to get the engine running perfectly ready for the HRDC Touring Greats race this weekend at Donington.
More rolling road tuning
Ian Rowsel brought his nearly completed Westfield XI kit car for a base setup. The car is running an MED 1380cc A series with fast road cam and a Weber. Unfortunately the manifold was leaking air so is off to get milled true before we complete the tuning. Next in today was Mr Helliers 1700cc crossflow powered Mk1 Ford Escort, also running on Webers.
