I saved all the pictures but for now here is a link that has 2/3 of pics from site . Mainly missing are suspension and few interior pictures .

Also site car was for sale on made it clear they had no problem shipping out of county. Hope whoever bought it doesn't tuck it away for another 10 years.

^That's more like it. :thumleft:

As I said earlier, I get the Sard MC8 car, but think it's pretty hideous.

...shame most of that appears in Russian on my PC, but yes, there are other sources. I feel quite strongly for SARD, But perhaps they weren't the best racers so understand why it never lasted in that entity.

Pretty cool footage, especially when you consider it was 17+ years ago!

To be fair i'm not suprised it was so rubbish on track, it probably had hardly any development budget compared to the stuff like the porsche and mercedes of the time.

Aaaaah where did it go I wonder?? If whomever bought it can bring it up to condition and perhaps wheel it out for some demo laps somewhere, that would be ace.
