HISTORY OF THE CARS

The F2 No. 693 car was a self built car.

The first car was an ex-Paul Harrison No. 2/Paul Pennington 382 car which was originally fitted with a 460 Ford engine purchased from Brian Powles.

The next car was an ex-Des Chandler car, ex-213.  This car was written off after Andy hit Tony Williams, ex-83, head on at Northampton.

In 1998, Andy built his own car.  The car boasted a 454 Peter Knight Chevy Engine, Doug Nash gear box etc.  This was a good solid car and eventually was sold to Mark Poole, No. 276. 

The current car was assembled together in 2003.  It was purchased as a flat chassis and roll cage.  A lot of work and man hours have gone into the car to make it into a race winner.  This car is also fitted with a 454 Chevy engine.

The car has won at Belle Vue, Coventry, Kings Lynn and Sheffield.

In 2007 the current car took Andy to victory at Coventry in a meeting where he won the Richard Ahern Trophy and the Steve Froggatt Trophy.  As well as this, in 2007 Andy won races at Sheffield and quite a number of grade awards.
