1993 MK30PR

Supersports Vauxhall and Sports 1600 car: a development of the MK30, badged "PR" due to the use of pull-rod operated rear suspension with a live axle for the first time.

The MK30PR was Arthur's final full design which encapsulated all of his thinking in aerodynamics, handling, suspension geometry and particularly, rear axle location with highly sophisticated and effective TAM 4 (Trailing Arm Magic) for longitudinal location which included torque cancelling and anti-squat and Mumford for lateral location low rear roll centre with zero RC movement. 

The MK30PR is still winning well into this decade (2010s) in the current Clubmans series. Peter Richings won the 2016 Clubmans championship. Not ethis is for current cars, not historic.
