FROM TERRIER KIT CARS TO FORMULA ONE – THE CAREER OF BRIAN HART

Words by STEVE HOLE

Brian Hart was another of those real motorsport characters that we just don’t see anymore. Born in September 1936 in Enfield, Hart got into motorsport after being hooked when visiting the British GP at Silverstone in 1949.

By 1958 he had his first crack at motor racing in a Lotus V1 in the 750 Motor Club’s 1172cc Formula before meeting the designer and maverick Len Terry and joining his Terrier team.

Rather embarrassingly for Lotus employee (at the time) Terry, Hart won the Chapman Trophy in 1960 in a Terrier Mk2 beating all the Lotus racers. It’s said that More >

A TIGER’S TALE!

One of the longest-serving kitcar manufacturers in the UK and undoubtedly one of the best-loved is Tiger Racing.

Founded and run by the Dudley family, Jim Dudley has recently published his autobiography which tells all about his career and of course, the life and times of running a leading kitcar manufacturer and the rise of Tiger Racing – it’s a great read and worth every penny of the £14.95 cover price.

PUT A CAP ON IT

The original plastic oil filler cap was never Ford’s greatest design achievement. The cap top tended to separate from the body and allow oil mist to blow out into the engine compartment resulting in an oily mess.

Although Burton’s Black Alloy Filler Cap follows a similar design, being breathable and incorporating a filter mesh just like the OE cap, it’s made from anodised alloy. As it is more substantial and non-flexible, the top on this cap stays where it’s supposed to, preventing leaks and looking far more stylish and professional than the plastic cap ever could.

ZOOM!

There is something great about a good memory, and many of us are immersed in this hobby for nostalgia more than anything else. We already drive old cars, so what else do we need? We need the parts that we used to fit, back in the day…

The Zoom Tube was a classic bolt-on addition for college students in the eighties, which is still proving popular with owners today. And for those that want a little more noise from the back of their Beetle, it is now available in stainless steel, to ensure the memory lasts for longer.
