Phil Dolby's HF3000 

Mot'd and taxed on the 7th May 1998, the project was originally started in February 1989, and I took delivery and I took delivery of the main body.chassis and other parts at the Newark Show in 1989.  So, as you can see it was a lengthy build process.

The car was issued with an age related plate 'T' 1979 by the DVLA, having scored enough points by using donor parts - engine, gearbox, suspension, steering, etc. The truth was stretched a little at the end of this list!! Having said that, the chap at the DVLA Nottingham said to me as we walked over to the car - "Brilliant - that car is NOT leaving here with a "Q" plate....." I think he liked it.

Spec of the car is as follows:-

  • Standard chassis by Spyder Engineering
  • Group 4 square arches
  • 1979 Monte Carlo winning colours (Chardonnet)
  • Engine was initially a 2litre Lancia with Holbay road cams, but this was upgraded to 3litre Alfa V6 engine
  • Image RS7 white 5 spoke wheels with Yokohama AVS tyres
  • Sparco seats
  • Sabelt harnesses.
