Geoff Cottrills new 6R4 evolution
Geoff has been building a 6r4 evolution over the last few years. He was a regular entry on btrda events in wales up till the quinton rally 2 years ago after a big accident. Now he will be out in his new machine later in the year The main difference in Geoffs car to other 6r4's is that instead of using the very costly but original v64v engine, Geoff has gone for the 2.5 Jaguar X-Type V6 Engine. And also add to it a 6 speed Hewland sequential gearbox, uprated wheel bearings, ford 9 inch front and rear diffs and a handbrake release makes this car much diferent to the original 6r4. 8) Here are 2 video clips hope you like it, Geoff certainly does after his first go in it :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llXoRt5We5A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkYhWWdl2Tw

Cheers Gary i know alot of people are really impressed with it :D I will see if i can take some pics for some close ups of it, the little bits of detailing make this much better than your average competition car. I have to sya i am really surprised how close the jag V6 sounds to an original clubman 6R4, very very similar and at a much cheaper price aswell i would have thought so i look forward to hearing it in the forests later in the year 8)
