Ben Shuckburgh’s incredible recreation of the Cunningham C4-R Le Mans car is set to appear at this years Goodwood Revival. Before the car makes it on track this weekend Ben wanted to make sure that the Chrysler Firepower V8 was in fine tune so brought the car in for us to setup. We set the ignition timing, balanced the four down draft carburettors and ensured the fueling was correct right through to 6000rpm on our rolling road. The car made a lot noise, heat and power and is now ready to take on a grid of 1950’s sports racing cars. Best of luck Ben.

Zodiac looking good after a Revival refresh
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been giving the Turner’s Zodiac a cosmetic refresh ready for Goodwood Revival. This has included a Zodaic grille, a repaired and re-painted bonnet, painted number roundels, and and interior re-trim with new seats and door cards. After a thorough polish this Zodiac looks stunning. James Turner will be joined by Christian Horner of Red Bull Racing for the two-part St Mary’s Trophy.
