Guys,

I‘ve just bought John Kents 350i racer from the mid 80‘s.

I believe it was a 280i, originally run by Colin Blower. I’m this period it was red/white/black with indestructible socks sponsorship. After that it was blue/silver with BF Goodrich sponsorship.

Around 83/84 it went to John Kent. Got a 3.5 RV8 engine, new chassis & was painted white with sponsorship from Castrol & Harrogate Horseless Carriages.

I‘m looking for info & pics of the car.

Anything from race entries, stories, pics, results, whatever.

I‘ve found the car here (scroll down to the section by Rupert Kent )=>

& I have a scan from an unknown 1983 magazine. The article features the car in blue/silver guise being driven by Win Percy.

Thanks in Advance for anything you might have.

Steve
