Coombs Register
Coombs of Guildford prepared their own cars for use in competition as well as modifying new and secondhand cars to individual customer specification.
From my research I have listed below cars that are known to be genuine modified cars both Mk1 and Mk2.
I am sure there will be more and the list will grow, as I continue my research and contact is made with other enthusiasts via this website.
