This website traces the history of my 1960s Sports racing car, 'Pandora' from it's build in Sussex in the early 1960s, its debut in the Whitsun Trophy at Goodwood in May '64, through it's various owners and modifications, 'till I bought it in 2003.
It will also chronicle the trials and tribulations of restoring an old racing car.
