Default Back to the begining

Something I've been meaning to do for a while, put together my original X6. Whilst not the first (Hodapp's magnesium chassis was first) but was one of the first 4 moulded cars.



It's got various bits that were revised ahead of production, and others that we initially had in a variety of composites and straight nylon. We also didn't get the X6 wing until later on.



It's not tuely original as it's got one of the 5 (?) CNC machined 4 gear gearboxes that each of the team had and made such a difference they become productions as fast as possible. These cost a fortune really but really proved the concept.



Rest of the car's pretty standard conversion from a B4 really. Initial pictures Jimmy took the week (and 1 day) before Batley national.
