Article in aprils MiniWorld not a lot of detail regarding build. Try contacting magazine ? Unless someone on here knows of the car and owner.

I'm not sure if I'm thinking straight here but if someone could clarify for me that would be fantastic.
When sitting in the car, the gbox sprocket is rotating counter clockwise, which rotates the diff input counter clockwise, which turns the crown wheel towards the rear of the car, which should make the rear wheels turn backwards.
Can someone clarify how this is not the case and put my temporary insanity to rest please.

I just realised it depends on which way up / wht side the crown wheel is on. I am happy my moment of insanity has been solved
