Owners' Cars

(Chassis 1) Now owned by Chris Price. It's a particularly interesting car, being the original prototype car I drove at the factory. As such, it has all the original features, dropped from car number three onwards (different grille, bonnet, aluminium side panels and, originaly, Vauxhall wing mirrors. That does mean it lacks one or two of the nice styling touches seen on production models, but it was always a great car. You'll find pictures of it in its original metallic burgandy colour in my main gallery, but it's obviously been resprayed silver at some stage in its life. It runs a 2-litre Turbo engine. Chris hopes to do a few hillclimbs in the car.

(Chassis 3) Chassis 2 was a development chassis that was destroyed at the factory. Chassis 3 has all the bodywork features of Chassis 1 and was built at the factory for competition use before being sold. Painted yellow, it's seen here with Chassis 1 in its original burgandy colour scheme. You can see more of the car in action here. 

(Chassis 4) This car is owned by Rob Chisnall, who bought the car from original builder, Chris Dobbs. It's a very early Cyclone, thus featuring the squared front wheelarches and slightly different wing mirrors to later cars. It was originally built as a hillclimb car, with a Vauxhall 2-litre twin-cam running twin Del-Orto carbs. Rob tells me his partner bought him the car as a present... lucky chap.
