The picture was taken at Llandow in 2005, a round of the British Sprint Championship. I still own it and i'm trying to put it all back together after a complete rebuild ready for the 2008 season. At present it is just a bare shell and i'm preping it ready for painting but the weather is the problem at the moment (too cold and damp for painting)
