Rikki Cann’s Aston Martin V8 Vantage is the latest CTCRC member’s car to get the Star Club Car treatment in Autosport magazine.
Affectionately known as Rose, the powerful V8 is the subject of a two-page feature in this week’s edition of the magazine (dated 21 November 2024).
Built from the shell of a written-off road car, Cann’s heavily modified Aston is a regular in our Historic Thunder championship. Rikki has shared driving duties with rising star Sam Wilson in recent years. And it was in Wilson’s hands that the car topped the 2023 standings in Historic Thunder, falling just one point short of winning Classic Thunder outright.
The article tells the story of the unique car’s racing history and development as well as the background to Rikki’s own varied racing career – including when he beat a motorsport legend Down Under.
