Hi All,with this year being the 50th aniversary im trying to find out if anybody out there drives a touring car replica.it would be great to meet up at a race day with replicas from past years as a fans tribute to 50 years of top notch motorsport.
here is a link to my photobucket with pictures of my daily run around its a signed replica of Yvan Mullers 1999 vectra http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj97/btccvec/

cheers Dami

Think thats just a road car with decals, the official one was alot lower and was black.

I wonder how many ST or touring car lookalikes are there in the UK. I did collect pictures from ST/TC fans across the world. Therre's been a few interesting ones like the DTM E30s, a DTM Alfa 155, Opel Calibra and Audi V8.

Was a blue Nissan Primera P12 without a spoiler ever raced in the BTCC. If so, I've got a BTCC replica car..........

There was a very good Peugeot 406 one around a few years back, that was on sale at a Peugeot dealers, I thought about buying it myself. I'd imagine that must still be around somewhere.

Overtook a yellow cavalier with BTCC decals on the M1 yesterday near Loughborough. Looked and sounded nice too!

I suppose the latest BTCC replica is the SEAT Leon you can buy with BTCC livery and a stupid bodykit.

I see what the problem is because the Integra was always a bit of a strange car to have in the BTCC seing as it was not on sale here

Maybe there should be a rule that only cars that have been on sale in the UK in the last few years can compete ???

So how would manufacturers be able to race new models?

I have the only MG ZS replica built by MG Sport and Racing. There is another built by WSR which started life with the reg P1WSR and as far as I know is now owned by a dentist in Southampton.
Photo here http://gallery.brit-cars.com/showphoto.php/photo/7312/cat/528

There are a few more pictures of other enthusiasts cars too.


BTW It has the 2.5 V6 under the bonnet and a few tweaks were added before we picked it up so it is not just show.

Does anyone think that it would be possible to buy an ex BTCC car and do it up for road use?

I'd love to do it and sounds like a great Idea!

an Ideal car would probably be an Encke Sport Astra. Does anyone know if that Cansiz79 guy bought it or not?
