Default Type 25 forged and detailed

I've had the car about 3 years now after about 18 months the engine gave up. So I ended up having a new one built then ran it in and had Brian at Camms map it. Every thing went well.

I've just had it detailed thanks to Rick Wheeler at Attention2detail and thought I would post up the results.

Was it a full machine polish mate? Did it have swirl marks etc before the detailing? Looks fantastic

Mines build number 5, does that mean yours is a widetrak and one of the later ones?

Anyone know how many were built?

Sure there was a Litchfield thread not so long ago where most were being tracked!

Yes, mine's a widetrack. The revised suspension caused a few issues early on as Litcho had to redo everything. It was a few weeks before I got rid of the standard setup!

There is no definitive list of how many cars there are, and not all T25 conversions were on new cars. Iain lost interest and moved onto pastures new.

Do you mean the ATS suspension? Mines still on that and I dont rate it maybe it needs a service.

I spoke to someone at the Litchfield stand at Autosport two years ago, it's all about GTR's now.

I forget how old my car is.

Yes, the AST. Same here, still original and feeling quite stiff, but no leaks.

Should drive it more I guess.
