Nicholson Mac motors are stunning. there hillclimb motors are amazing. That said 30+ grand a season to HIRE one (you dont own it ) is a tad expensive.
as a bit of trivia, Mike Endean now owns NicMac and used to own Xtrac (before he flogged it for millions) the transmission specialists. He designed Martin Schanches Escort 4wd transmissions in his garden shed whilst still working for Hewland (iirc), they revolutionised rallycross in the 80s/90s. He now owns one of Schanches old mk3 escorts and has fully restored it into the original Sachs livery. Oh yeah and he has a fully carbon chassied/bodied RWD Ford Puma running an ex-Schanche BDT running 650bhp. its mind blowing, faster than all the but the top single seaters.
sorry for thread hijack Pukka
