Re: SP250 Spa Classic Trip 2019

So it is Hans.

Met the Peter Auto guys at the NEC last weekend, and hope to have the same spot for 2023.

Re: 2023 SP250 Calendars

I’m now up to date with all orders following a busy weekend at the NEC.

Desk calendars are getting low on stock so get in quick if you want one. I still have a good supply of wall calendars although expect these to go over the next few weeks.

Thanks for everyone’s support with this.

Re: SP and 250 cylinder heads

There are some differences but engines are often swapped between the SP250 and saloon. Robert Grinter’s website offers some useful information
