Think that should be winning Clan.

cheers Pete,
classes for the FDMC events in 2007 as follows:
Classes and eligibility:
A. Historics; any car, registered or manufactured before 01/Jan 1975
B. Other saloons / estates / 4 seat coupes, up to 1400cc
C. Other saloons / estates / 4 seat coupes, 1401 to 1800cc
D. Other saloons / estates / 4 seat coupes, over 1800cc
E. Production (open and fixed roof ) 2 seat sports cars
F. Low volume sports cars, kit cars suitable for road use, and others
ineligible for classes A to E
Cars eligible for Class A shall run in that class, rather than in the
corresponding class from B to E.
Classes with fewer than 4 entries may be amalgamated.
Class F includes all Caterhams, Westfields, Lotuses and similar. Diesels,
with or without forced induction, will run in the class corresponding to their
capacity. A petrol engine with forced induction, in class B or C, will move up one capacity class. A rotary engine will be classed at twice its nominal
capacity.
All cars must retain the original body profile above the hub centreline, apart from accessories such as spoilers. Cars not conforming to this requirement, or one-off specials, or kit cars of an ‘off-road’ nature, are not eligible for this event.
Suspension and transmission may be modified, within their original
configuration. Tyres marked ‘for competition use only’, or manufactured
without a full tread pattern, may not be used.
Additional eligibility requirements, Classes A to E:
In classes A to E, cars must retain the original panel and window materials
although additional panels, e.g. wheel arch extensions, and accessories may
be added. They must have full trim and seats although the type may be
replaced.
The engine must be of the original manufacture and original basic type (eg:
BMC ‘A’ series) and must be fitted in the original position, but may be a
different version, may be modified, and may be a different capacity, provided
the car is entered in the class corresponding to its actual capacity.
Cars not meeting these requirements are eligible only for Class F.
The organisers’ decision will be final, regarding the eligibility and most
appropriate class for any particular car.
As per GR F13.1; cars entered in AutoSolo’s must be registered, taxed,
insured, MOT tested if applicable, and driven to the event.
Please note, these requirements will be enforced. Tax discs must be
displayed; proof of insurance cover, and MOT’s (for cars over 3 years old)
must be available at scrutineering / signing on; and trade plates will not be
accepted.
Si
. Great to see the clan showing the correct place to put the engine 
.
So I watched the videos of the autosolos. That Clan of yours sounds wonderful and goes brilliantly, Si! Really great!
