| General
Description |
This
car was found with the help of EMMR.org on April 7, 2002. Most of it was
there, but it had sat for many years so it all had to be completely rebuilt
before it could be run again. Our plan had always been to first put the
car back together again and run it at speed and have a lot of fun with it.
We did. Then in 2011 the decision was made to retire this particular car
from it days of running hard and to create a time capsule of Edmunds cars
in the early 1980s - restoring this one as exact as possible to its 1983
condition. That work is currently underway with a completion date set for
mid 2012. |
