I remember the Matador and meeting John Swainston when he and I raced in F1300 in the early 1990's. John later raced a FF2000 car in (I think) URS.
I have an article from Cars & Car Conversions, July 1992 about John and the Matador. Let me know if you would like a copy.
Alan.
This is a long shot as it has been two years, My dad is John Swainston and he has come across these posts . If anyone needs any information on this car feel free to get in touch.
Alan you mentioned you have an article, do you have a copy of this i would love to pass this on to dad.
