Find of the decade Justin!

What to do with them.... its a very good question!

I'd be so tempted to rebuild the Works & race the car... I'm guessing this would have been a car that Rory would have run at UK national events... so would have less provenance than say the WCS - but one perhaps that Rory himself would have had more affection for?

The WCS is a tricky one - the car (or what remains of it) Looks to have received some home-made parts (poss crafted by Craig Drescher's dad?) Since the car had raced at the Worlds. The photo of the car on the grid seems to show the 'standard' 93WCS rear end - with white bulkhead cap & 'eared' horizontal inner camber link set-up, The home made parts converts that rear end to something similar to the set-up that 1st appeared on the 94 YZ-10. Do you revert it back to the spec of the car on the grid at the Worlds - or simply rebuild the car as it currently stands, adding the missing parts to make it a rolling chassis again?

Rory was Mr consistant and was what put him into all the national A finals he entered into. Great driver and great find, id do it up and wouldnt race it, rare big time.

It's definitely got the white cap on but it's also running the black rear tower there's a better pic here



As for rebuilding that will take some planing and searching I think but it will never get raced again to be fair
