BLAZE 01 VR4 RALLY CAR, GpN WORKS CAR RESTORATION PROJECT. ANY INFO PICS ?

[BLAZE O1 VR4]

Hi everyone,

I am restoring a works Cusco/Carrosser Galant VR4 1988 E39A.

I'll be updating info/pics as I make progress................ ANY INFO/PICS FROM OTHER MEMBERS WOULD BE GREAT (chris@kitcar.plus.com)

GpN winner for Kiyoshi Inoue.

Also driven by Miyoshi....4 rounds in the UK...came 2nd to Colin McRae in Cumbria with John Meadows co-driver.

Owned and co-driven by Peter Collinson of Blaze Motors....now CoOrdsport.

There was also a GpN sister car to Blaze 01, white with a WHITE roll cage, this car was driven by Ed Ordynski, it's Jersey reg number was J53270.

The engine fitted to my VR4 was replaced at some time with Ed's engine, I have no idea when but the numbers are correct... it's now in bits sat in my garage!

Please see links to rallies entered for BLAZE 01.

What Tim said. I don't think there has been any significant info on this forum, but I have forgotten more on here than I care to admit, so I could be wrong.

Photos and a story are always good though. We all like info. And photos. Oh, and don't forget the photos!!
