I would be up for it too.

I know the Anniversary event is expensive and the same weekend as the Goodwood Revival but I might be tempted by that too...

Its quite a while to wait for the 50th..

Fred H got a whole load of cars together in 93 at Silverstone - with ltd tee shirts also, and then there was a further display at the national event in 1998.
I'm stuck on the wrong side of the pond for any euro event, but Daytona 24hrs in 2013 will be the 40th anniversary of the RS taking top honors - I'll be heading down for this in my RS.....

A 6x15" Fuchs (used as a spare wheel in some RS LWT's) weighs ~ 5Kg without the spacesaver tyre.

By comparison the 5.5" steel wheel used as the std spare wheel weighs ~ 8Kg without the spacesaver tyre.

HI Andy
the wheel "Q" was worded not quite right and it wanted the total weight with tyre, any way a couple of photos of 2.7RS cars for you at the Bosch test centre,

No way. Mike Bainbridge, TWICE this year- out of Cumbria? First to fix an injection system in France (eating baguettes when the eccles cakes ran out), and now to go to the Bosch test track?!

Awesome pictures!
