Current Owner: Mat Knowles
Registration Number (current): C799 EHU, a yellow 6R4 I bought in December 2008.
Vehicle ID Number: 570050.
Previous owner Martin Gill, who rallied it on a few tarmac events. Prior to that the car was run my Angus Manson and was a TAL-supported car as far as I know. The car was prepared by DAM in the late 90’s with a DAM 2800cc single plenum engine built by Cliff Humphries.
More recently the car has been recommissioned by Ian Rowlance at 6R4.com with MoTEC M600 engine management. The car runs with AP Racing brakes and titanium works rear suspension springs, with cranked steering arms.
I have run the car for track days and a single round of the 2009 TimeAttack series (Silverstone round) where the car was competitive until a Lucas Micos ECU fault forced retirement.
