On this occasion it carried the Reg No E264 AAM, and this is the event that you mentioned earlier that someone died on. The car was then reshelled into the ex-temperature test car that you mentioned over the winter of 1987/1988 and wasn't finished till 3am on the morning of it's next rally - the 1988 John Price Rallying Longleat Stages on 27/28 February. For that event the car also carried Bill's Reg No D999 VFW again, was Entry No 12, Sam had Nicky Grist alongside him, and they crashed on Stage 6 when lying 2nd Overall at the time. It's 3rd event was the 1987 Rally Radio Link Mewla Stages the day after on 9 August. For that event the car carried Bill Barton's Reg No D999 VFW, was Entry No 5, and Sam finished 2nd Overall with Blackford alongside again. The 2nd event was the 1987 Merlin Fireplaces Epynt Stages on 8 August. On the latter the car carried the Reg No B697 CMG - I even have the large framed colour print that Sam used to have on his office wall! - and the car finished 3rd Overall with Jean Blackford alongside. In fact, I have just looked back into my files, and I have virtually all of the events listed that this car competed on since it debuted on the 1987 Nelson Azimghur Stages Rally on 12 July. I'll also try and get a few photos scanned in.īut isn't that a complete nearside front suspension on the left hand side of both of the photos that I poosted at the top of this page Mike - and Post #62? Wouldn't that tie in with your comment about '.as I remember it was a front strut nut that split and the damper pulled out.'? I hope that helps 'bigears' and I'll have a look through the 1989 pages and see if I can fill in any similar gaps for you.

I've had a look through the 1988 pages, and here are a few more details to fill in your gaps - mainly individual sponsors. Could anyone kindly help me to plug in the missing details. In addition, the descaling market is a growing and very profitable market.įor more information, visit our website or contact us.My research of the 19 MG Metro 6R4 races at the Birmingham Superprix is incomplete. We are recognised as the leader in our sector of activity, and we continue to gain the trust of numerous partners such as the Auto-Distribution, Midas and Point S networks. Moreover, our machines require no consumables, no labour and above all no maintenance. HY-CARBON is an ecological technology because it does not use chemicals: we inject hydrogen directly into the engine to clean it thoroughly. This patented technology allows to restore the original performance and to maintain all types of engines, including high power engines (heavy duty engines, boat engines.). FlexFuel Energy Development has been the European leader in engine descaling machines and equipment for over 10 years.Īware of the polluting emissions of engines, their over-consumption, but also of the loss of power, premature change of parts and engine breakage linked to carbon residues, FlexFuel Energy Development has developed a range of engine cleaning equipment using hydrogen injection called HY-CARBON.
