The car has been driven during set-up testing, race testing and the race itself. All components are functional and in perfect condition. It is eligible for hillclimbing competitions and is notably pre-selected to take part at Pikes Peak. The car came to the UK in in the early 2000s, and is well-known to the Alpine Owners Club. Granted FIA papers in 2007 it was then campaigned in hillclimbs and sprints, including the Brighton Speed Trials and events at Prescott, Goodwood and in the Channel Islands. In 2012 the car was withdrawn from active competition and an engine rebuild and full body restoration was carried out, before the current owner (a classic car mechanic) bought it as a partly completed project. kit. 4 New brake discs fitted all round in late 2021, new Redtop 60 battery fitted and the car is self starting.This highly developed Clubmans began life as a very successful circuit car and has subsequently been converted to a turbocharged hillclimb and sprint contender with a very competitive power to weight ratio.

The ALDON was originally built and designed by myself and Don Loughlin as one of the first monocoque chassis racing cars of the late ‘60s early ‘70s. It was designed to take a variety of engines that could be used in various formulae. Recognised as one of the most powerful sports racers ever to have competed in speed events, the SPA Judd is a fabulous piece of engineering which started life as a 2.8 litre Hart powered car in the early 90s. Original owner David Render used the car in hills and sprints before selling it on to Ferrari & Lancia enthusiast Christian Mineeff. Christian then had the car completely reworked and converted to F1 power with a 3.5 litre Judd CV power plant. Aero developments by Gould Engineering in the late 1990s made this car the fastest sports racer on the hills bar none. Subsequently owned by Matthew Harrison and Chris Cannell, the car has most recently been campaigned with some success by Tom Brown and Steve Cunningham. Powered by a mighty ex Leyton House Judd CV 3.5 litre F1 engine, which still runs F1 cams and sounds utterly superb! The car is mechanically A1 and has had only two owners from new.
