My next project???????
Saw 'Legends' racing today at Brands and i want one of those cars!!!!!! I did do a thread about them about 6 months ago and there was a
reason for not building one which at the time was cost. But maybe in the future it would be great to build one for the road.
This is what they look like:

The championship website is http://www.legendsracinguk.com/ukhome.html I'm going to do
some research on where to get the kits and costs. The kits are available here. There was a Ready to race car at Brands today for sale for £9k

pickups are quality stuff! they use vauxhall 2.0 XE (red top's) or a ford 2.0 16v engine (not entirely sure which, zetec i think). I'm
looking for an xe for mine now, since my V6 doesn't fit...

Donut,
The pickups use Zetec or Vauxhall units and were quite amusing on the limit .
They deffo need a V8
Quite liked the Legends, though can't figure what engine they are. I know Yamaha 1250cc, but only 122bhp. I'd guess at XJR1300. Engine
bays open so might be aircooled?
Glad to see Steve Murty still around. I remember his Jet truck and 1st wheely wagon when I went in '87

Would a Legend's body go on a locost /Mk indy chassis that may be my next mod to the indy

I very much doubt it!
Simon: Yes a V8 in the pickup would be much better!!
I asked about the engine in the Legend and was told they were as you sat Yamaha jobbies. The guy said you can fit whatever bike engine you want plus
small car engines too!!!

i went to the factory after i bought my chassis, i think one of the guys was telling me they did once build a chassis to take a V8, although i was
very much taken by the brand new, just completed, candy blue truck next to us, i may have misheard him. maybe they just had plans drawn up for the
chassis for one

the legends have, what looks like an english axle (with one tube shortened so the prop runs down the right hand side) and the diff is locked
