On close inspection it does show a few signs of 25+ years close racing. This was a successful race car prior to me purchasing it. I have achieved thirty-seven class wins in the CSCC Future Classics series including 7 outright wins, most recently in October 2022. Additionally an outright win in Classic & Modern ‘60’s & 70’s’ and class wins in Bernie’s V8s. I have won 100 trophies with this car over nineteen years of ownership and development.
It is a fun car to drive with predictable handling 'on the limit'.
