I race this car with the HSCC 70`s Roadsports. I first bought it about 26 years ago and raced it for about 3 seasons, then moved on to various other cars, including a Montecarlo, various 924s`,Alfetta GTV and about 5 years ago it came back up for sale. Well, I couldn`t resist it.
This was an interesting race at Castle Combe last year, I`d had to retire from Race1 due to wiper failure, so had to start Race 2 from the back of the grid, was about to retire due to bad visibility and bingo, wipers started working.

Impressive stuff. Do you know which events you'll compete at this year?  I'd be very happy to cheer on a Beta.

It`s a Guy Croft engine with Accusump running on its standard single carb(That`s the regs for our series). Standard brakes(again regs) adjustable Leda suspension. I`m running 15" wheels with Yoko A052 tyres. Runs in Class D(1600-2000cc) steel bodied cars.
