I have no info on the Sherratts.

So that's only the car if the original owner/builder sold it.

Do you know his name?

I did a quick check.
You are right.

It is the same car.

Shouldn't be hard for you to find the other name... :)
And one of the types of competition it was raced in.

I'll give you 2 days to find it.

Absolutely right.

But you are a couple of hours early, 'cause I gave Gilles 2 days.

Mods?

OK I will take a guess - 1950s saloon car racing (only due to the fact I've seen similar rigged Jag Mk2s)

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Yes.

And winner of the fastest streetcar shootout ( organised by Streetmachine Magazine, I believe ) a couple of years in a row...

It was in the very first car magazine I bought, Street Machine in 1983, I'm sure I still have it somewhere, and yes it did win their Rover V8 drag race series, from memory it ran 11 second quarters, quite impressive for a hillclimb car.
