The franchised dealer quoted £1,210 plus labour and VAT to fit an entirely new steering rack and would not countenance any 'goodwill' payment despite the fact that the car was only two months out of warranty.

Imagine an event - held at Brand's Hatch (Goodwood was largely out of action in the 1970s and '80s, while Brands regularly held F1 and touring car races) - that stars such gems as Group B rally cars, the fire-breathing F1 turbos, Group C Le Mans cars, and world touring car races starring M3s, Cosworths and 190s.
