Darrian T9 – 2.0L XE
Colin’s Darrian went to a new home in April 2017.
Colin – formerly known as Captain Birdseye – sprints in a Darrian T9. The engine was originally in our 1996 Westfield, its taper throttle body kit has been upgraded to 285bhp with dry sump system, steel crank, long rods & slipper pistons. It is still running faultlessly.
Colin was 1st in Class at Castle Combe, June 2013 with 68.56s.
