History

The B60 marque was built by Robin Smith in Scotland for Sports 2000 racing. The B60-TS was built as a prototype for Thunder Sports in 1982. Utilising the Sports 2000 tub and front suspension, a Cosworth BDG was fitted matted to a Hewland FT200 around which hung B29 rear suspension and uprights. The car was originally tested by Markus Pye, and led its first race until forced out with gearbox problems. It was then hired out to David Purley for three races. The car was sold at the season's end to a Mr Lindstrum in Sweden.

It remained in Sweden for fourteen years until October 1998. Since then it had changed hands, and was fitted with a Hart engine and B36 bodywork. The current owner has it under good authority that it won the Swedish Thundersports Championship twice collecting over twenty victories along the way. Its former keeper rebuilt the car in 1996 with new bag tank, and bodywork. Special attention was paid to revamping the tub. Under the ownership of the current owner it has only been raced in two RJB rounds proving extremely quick. The car is a definite front runner with more time and development.
