This project is my own and only worked on at the weekends. The engine is a 2.0 Ltr 16V VAUXHALL with FORD 5-Speed Gearbox and English back axle linked with LSD. Disc brakes all round and double wishbone suspension on the front with adjustable platforms all round. The original body shell was extensively modified using GRP to suit all requirements. The arches were made by me to suit 8X13 revolutions and will have side skirts made to attach on like the HSR Chevette or OPEL Manta 406s with a defuser at the rear. All these parts will suit a STD Mini shell and will be for sale later. The body is now awaiting shot blasting before final painting, fitting-out and final assemby.

This a Vauxhall TIGRA converted to take W.R.C. Escort running gear retaining the Escort suspension and steering geometry. The car is now 8 inches wider than a normal TIGRA. We have manufactured all the panels in Kevlar, bumpers wings etc. A new dash was tailor-made in carbon fibre to suit new clocks and trip layout. Door panels and tank covers were also made in carbon fibre. Power is provided via a 2 Litre 16V Millington engine producing about 265 BHP to the rear wheels through a 6 speed sequential gearbox.
