Hi, I am Chris and have a Pilgrim Minotour show car powered by a V8 twin turbo. Built in 2003 it is a barn find, which I bought in March 2014. It has a MOT but not road registered. So I will have to trailer it. I hope to see you soon at one of your track meets.

Wow :o Think you may have a one off there as they didn't make hardly any of these, so if you can get it fully road legal then it'll be great to see it at some shows as well.

Btw. Welcome to the club Chris from a fellow Pilgrim owner ;D

Thx for the warm welcome.

Just to answer a few questions posed :-

Only driven it a few miles to the test station, but it is quick off the line and gains speed swiftly. Gear change is difficult, much like a Formula Ford. So I guess a sub 5 second 0-60mph is on in good hands and a 140+ top speed if the nerves hold up. I think a Westfield, Lotus 7, Caterham type car will gobble it up on tight tracks like Castle Combe and tighter. I must take it to a drag strip and find out the 1/4 mile stats.

Best regards, Chris.
