It absolutely uses bunches of TR3 suspension parts.  I've provided same to two
different SP250 pilots.

Funny, they didnt seem to be attracted to other ugly things, just the "fish 
car".

In fact one of them, Bob Moser is a wonderful racer and has been racing the same
SP250 for over 25 years, first with club racing for a very long time and now as 
a
vintage car for the last 9-10 years.  Havent seen him at a race in the last 
year,
hope he'll be back.
