S40 BTCC 1997 Photos....anyone got any?

[JDog]

Hi Guys

Im after any pics of the S40 Touring car from the 1997 BTCC. Ive googled every single relevant phrase i can think of but still cant find very many. Loads of 98-99 in the silver and blue livery but i am after the original white blue and yellow colours.

Anything you can find would be great.

Cheers

Jonny

Theres an s40 with the decals on that i see occasionally near where i live, just a 2.0l though. and looking a bit sorry for itself, unfortunatly.

very nice, chassis number 001. I noticed in your intro thread you said its got engine issues, is it still the original TWR engine as even the Belgium race team said they had problems sourcing parts so wondered if they'd swopped to a modified production engine

the engine is original in 97 spec. the car goes very well indeed but engine life is 1500km between rebuilds. im not going to take any chances so ill be refreshing valves shells and rings before going anywhere near a track

well very interested to see any pictures of some of the detail of the car, ie under the hood, interior, suspension if you don't mind posting/sharing them. Are you intending to put it into a race series or just use it as the best track toy you could want lol

I havent seen the car in two months as its sat in a mates workshop but there are a few here that i took when i picked it up. Hope to get it ready to race at the Silverstone Classic next year but realistically im not going to have time so may run my Cavalier instead.




She needs some love!!

Here it is a few years ago....many years of abuse in eastern europe. Sounds so good though...even running it up in the workshop best sounding race engine ive ever heard

I think I have one of your original bumpers in my garage! I have one or two TWR parts in my collection.
