Scratching an itch

Whilst Matt tries to find the time to complete his GU SWB racer (seen here), the urge to race has grown. To help 'scratch the itch' Matt will be competing in this modified GQ Partrol SWB.

899 or 668?

Safety is paramount when competing in any form of motorsport. Just in case car 899 goes upside down and becomes car 668, both driver and navigator are protected by a roll cage, racing harnesses and window mesh.

Where to look?

Revs, temperature, oil pressure and fuel mixture, thats just whats going on inside the cabin!
All gauges are within easy view of both the driver and navigator so Matt can concentrate on keeping his eyes on the road.

That's not a factory option!

With a 5 speed manual gearbox and GQ Patrol running gear the only major modification to the driveline is the transplanted Nissan VH45, 4.5L V8 engine. With almost 300hp driving the 31 x 10.5 Mud Terrain's, the drive should be a lively one!
