Richard, the regs are very free - the aim is to allow as many people to be eligible as possible (rather than spend as much money as possible) & not worry, too much about FIA eligibility or Group X or Group Y etc etc. You can't put a Ferrari engine in a Sud - engine TYPE, induction TYPE and gearbox TYPE has to remain the same for eg but other mods are OK.

As an eg I have a Fiat Uno for the Tin Tops series & I have fitted a 1580 cc SOHC engine from the Fiat Tipo. This is allowed because the engine is from exactly the same family as the ones in the Uno. The engine has had CR uprated, new cam and twin carbs. Brakes are from an Uno Turbo and suspension camber has been adjusted. Plastic windows & panels would be allowed if I could be bothered/ had the cash.

To be honest, most of the CSCC series are occupied by people for whom the cheque has a limited size! There are always people spending more or less money that you but the club really tries to run "club racers" series' rather than acheque book racers series'

I would suggest that the Sud and the Guillietta (is it the ex Nico Picolini car from Norfolk, by the way?) would be ideal in "Tin Tops" and the Sprint GT & GTA rep would be ideal in "Swinging Sixties".

Travelling from Inverness might be your biggest challenge but how about having a few days holiday in England and coming to Oulton for a few days?!
