Group C2 TIGA GC288/9 3.5 DFZ The Porto Kaleo car driven by Stingbrace. Winner in class at the 1988 Nurburgring 1000km. Fresh DFZ 3.5 engine with loads of torque and power. Newly refreshed gearbox with a new CWP.

A great deal of recent work as this car is currently running in Group C historic racing. As a result it has recent crack testing certificate and a new fuel cell and historic Group C passport. Whilst engine was out for refresh the rest of the car was gone through new fuel cell fitted and a new Motec ecu fitted with a new engine loom. The old cosworth spark box is retained should you wish to revert to original specification but Group C permit new ecu's for engine protection purposes. Many spares including front clam and many wheels etc.

Brand new set of slicks fitted for one hour shake down race. Car has been very reliable and predictable to drive hence is has had a class podium at every race entered with an inexperienced gentleman driver. If you want to race at the best circuits at the biggest meetings with the fastest iconic cars this is the cheapest way in. How else will you get to run the full Le Mans circuit in front of 300,000 people.

This car ran the 1989 Le Mans but electrics stopped it in the night. It did however get a class win in the Nurburgring 1000kms in period. There are other cars out there but only this one has all the work done and is currently running. Even fresh engine cars around will probably need new fuel cells and crack tested soon and perhaps even a valve spring refresh before you race.

This one will need new harness for next year and maybe your own seat but thats it. You could run the Paul Ricard Dix Mille Tour meeting on the 4th 5th and 6th October this year. Team who already run the car and have done so since 1989 are ready and waiting. Only other thing to bear in mind is that this is the only one with a DFZ 3.5 (which cost £70k alone) others are 3.3 DFL or have Buick Engines.

This is the TIGA to have. Reason for sale is that owner is looking to go up a class but needs funds first.

Part exchange considered with Lola T212, McLaren M1B or M8
