Here we have a very rare & special project, definitely not the faint hearted but very rewarding to the owner that sees this project to the end, SBM660R was built in 1989 by Norman who is the Stratos Enthusiasts Club Chairman, A January 1977 Registered Lancia Beta Coupe was used as a Donor for the purchased Allora kit, Correctly updated V5 document & Vin present on current vehicle, Originally powered by the Betas 1.8ltr Twin Cam, Beta Brakes & rear struts etc, The current owner purchased the car in 2002 & ran it for a couple of years as fun weekend transport before a bump on a back road where the car sustained light damage to the o/s/r, Following an eventual payout by the offending parties insurance company it was decided a full rebuild & substantial improvements would be made to turn it into a Clubman Forest spec Rally Car, And so the improvements began, The intention was to be able to run with both standard & Group 4 bodywork as & when required, The centre tub was repaired using a Hawk side panel by a local boat builder, A multipoint Rollcage inc Door bars was fabricated by Fabricage / built to FIA Motorsport specs & fitted by Experienced Coded welder David Dingwall @ Kincraig Smithy inc certification, A local MSA Scrutineer has inspected & was very complimentary of the job, At the same time the rear wishbones were upgraded using a higher spec material & for use with spherical bearings replacing the nylon ones previously fitted, The Steel Jig is included to produce replacements if ever required, The inner chassis mount for the lower wishbones were modified to accept the spherical bearings fitted to the inner end of the wishbones, The front damper mounts were moved to reduce the angle the dampers sat at, this prevents the falling rate spring situation on the original cars, The front upper wishbones were strengthened for Forest Rallying, bumps & jumps etc, The steering rack was moved to reduce / eliminate bump steer, this took many hours of measuring & re-measuring,
