Leonard Stolk, MD of Dutch classic Porsche specialist, Twinspark Racing, announces a major distribution deal for lightweight Porsche parts and classic racing equipment, made in Britain by Yorkshire-based EB Motorsport.

We all go all out and that puts you over the edge on occasion…
Lex was driving the Hulk, our ’74 911 RSR, with a new radical engine. Unfortunately we had had no time to fine tune the settings of the engine and this [...]
