Top Ghia
When you’ve waited almost twenty years for your dream car the end results tend to be pretty special. This is certainly the case for Matt Donnelly’s stunning VW Karmann Ghia, which has wowed everyone that’s seen it this year.
Turning Japanese
Reuben Sheridan’s MkII Escort might look like a typical special stage refugee on the surface, but deep within beats a heart of pure Honda S2000-fuelled Banzai…
The Jigsaw Manta
Here’s a puzzle for you. What looks like a Manta, goes like a Silvia, sounds like a Civic Type R and has a fully removable body shell? The only answer you’re likely to fi nd is this unique creation, which was built at home for track-day fun.
Shaken, Not Stirred
When you combine one of the most famous racing liveries of all time with one of the most famous sports cars of all time you’re left with a sure-fi re winner. At least, that’s what Paul Gray hopes of his revamped HRCA racer.
Supra Hero
It takes one thing to engineer a hugely powerful engine transplant, but to simultaneously bring back an almost terminally rotten car from the brink takes a special kind of determination. Enter Pat Kelly and his Celica turbo.
Different Strokes
There’s no other car that drives or sounds like a classic Mazda RX-7, and Jason Marah’s ‘84 shows us why.
Lil’ Red
This Mk1 Jetta is no fi re-breathing track monster or slammed show car, but after a whole lot of work by its owner it’s a fi ne slice of retro cool, with more subtle upgrades than fi rst meet the eye.
Acute Angle
It might not win any beauty contests, but Robert and Olivia Coulter’s Anglia 105E is a more seasoned rally campaigner than most, and is certainly part of the family at this stage.
