Pipey's 3Type
E type Jaguar with triple Rotary engine

"We've had some close calls with cars at The Gathering before, people replacing gearboxes a couple of days before the show. People rebuilding engines in the weekend before. I don't think we've ever had someone finish their car at the event. However Pipey Mcgraw and Coltech Classics are doing just that this year.

This car in many ways is the product of the Retro Rides Gathering, bringing regular attendees together to produce something totally outlandish. Pipey you will have seen before in his Beetle floorpanned Mk1 Golf with rotary engine a few years ago, or last year in the W8 powered K70. The engine comes via Brad O'Nians who is regularly at the event heading up the hill in his triple rotary powered RX7, you know, the blue one, with lots of smoke and sideways action. Yeah that guy.

There is no way we can do the story of this car complete justice here, you'll have to wait for the inevitable features in your favourite media platforms and you know there will be features by the bucket load. Probably a few upset people to, but when you read the story you'll realise there is little reason to be upset.

In the mean time. Give them your good will and our collective psychic force can help propel them over the line and we'll get to hear this wild monster roar up the hill at Retro Rides Gathering on Sunday 20th August. If not we can all go and watch them working feverishly in the paddock"
