MK21: Clubmans Formula car( 1980) This development of the previous year’ s MK20B featured a stiffer chassis, upright rear dampers, low rear anti-roll bar and an upswept tail. Its drivers enjoyed numerous successes including Nigel Corry( Oceanair Clubmans Champion, 1980); Andy Smith( Tricentrol Clubmans Champion, 1980); Andy Smith, Donington Clubmans Champion, 1981); Charles Wardle( Haynes Leaders Hillclimb Champion, 1982); Charles Wardle( Shell Harewood Hillclimb Champion, 1982); and Mike Muck( Oceanair Clubmans Champion, 1984).
MK27: Clubmans Formula car( 1985) This car was an evolution of the previous year’ s MK26 Clubmans Formula and Thundersports car, which had introduced a brand-new design concept to Mallocks and was the first all-new Mallock since the MK7. It had an extremely rigid chassis, ultra-light all-aluminium bodywork, a wheelbase eight inches longer than the MK25, high downforce and a low frontal area to reduce drag. The upgraded MK27 switched from side to front radiators and had an even longer wheelbase with more conventional bodywork, but it was most notable as the first car to fit the Mumford rear suspension lateral location system, which remains the definitive live axle lateral location system. Its successful drivers included Tony Bridge( Slington & PHM Clubmans champion, 1986); Richard Gilmour( Formula 1300 champion, 1986 / 88); and David Grace( Harewood Hill Climb champion, 1986).
MK6R: Road car( 1967) This was a one-off road car built by Richard, with a wider chassis than the 1966 Clubmans Formula car, and was raced by him in numerous Sports Car and Formula Ford events.
