BMW E36 M3 3.2 Evo Saloon

Simon Green Motorsport started to build this car as a Class A Kuhmo BMW Championship E36 M3 Evo, that would eventually progress to becoming a car that would run in Britcar and other endurance type races within the UK and Europe. Jeff Barley saw the car in the early stages of the build and along with Simon’s views and plans for the car couldn’t help but become involved in the project and put his name to it straight away…..

The car had been brought as a standard road car and has been fully stripped by ourselves in order to have a full FIA spec multi-point roll cage fitted and has had a new roof skin fitted. Simon Green Motorsport’s plan was to get the car on track and concentrate on the handling and stopping side of the car whilst leaving the engine standard for the time being. The car is now fully finished, repainted in white and made its circuit debut at a Barley McNaughton corporate track day at the hands of LMS CRS Ferrari driver Phil Quaife on the 20th October 2010.
