Uphill Racers

The 100% Belgian-designed racecar is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder TFSI with 380 horsepower and has a sequential 6-speed paddle-shift Quaife gearbox. The carbon fibre chassis allows the car to only weigh 925kg. It is managed by a Bosch Motorsport calculator and has a MoTeC instrument cluster and PDM for full telemetry. Well known & highly competitive car, well maintained and in excellent condition (a few marks on the bodywork). Won the Curborough Championship outright in 2013, many class wins in the Midland Speed Championship. The ALDON was originally built and designed by myself and Don Loughlin as one of the first monocoque chassis racing cars of the late ‘60s early ‘70s. It was designed to take a variety of engines that could be used in various formulae. Dellow Motors Ltd was launched by Ken Delingpole and Ron Lowe to produce rugged road-going sports cars for enthusiasts to use on trials, rallies and hillclimbs. They won numerous events in the late 1940s and early 1950s, including the Daily Express National Rally and the Circuit of Ireland Rally against strong opposition. Notable works drivers included future Grand Prix driver Peter Collins and future multiple hillclimb champion Tony Marsh.This stunning example is the last Vin Malkie continuation B19 produced, using all new parts other than a set of original bodywork. Only used for a limited number of classic hillclimbs since built, with several successes including an FTD at Shelsley Walsh. Ground effects came to Formula Two in 1979, and that year's European Championship was won by Marc Surer in the works March 792 BMW. Although not universally successful the 792 was popular with customers and 32 were sold by the factory. Most of these competed with BMW engines, but several were powered by Hart 420R and one ran with a Cosworth BD.
