DESCRIPTION
Highly respected Midlands driver and race car preparer, Colin Blower, built this car from new in 2003/2004 as a bespoke car to compete in British GT. An output in excess of 300bhp and a weight of just 825 Kgs result in a fantastic power to weight ratio which, when combined with the car's state of the art suspension and brakes, gave him an outstandingly competitive package.
Costing £130k to build (plus the base car), the specification includes a bespoke water cooled variable boost turbo, a four branch bespoke exhaust manifold, dry sump system and a flat-shift sequential 6 speed X-Trac gearbox. Built with approval and input from the Vauxhall Works Touring car team of the day - the car is unique. Further specification includes a 100 litre racing bag tank, pit to car radio system, air jacks, centre lock wheels and even an electric demisting system.
Fully optimised and driven successfully at the time to 3 podium finishes by Colin and Dan Eagling in British GT, this car is a very serious piece of engineering that has had very little use and is today offered at an ultra competitive price.
