Description:

A unique opportunity to own the Datapost-liveried 1275 GT, sister car to the legendary Swiftune Richard Longman replica and Jon Mowatt 1275GT’s, all three of which raced successfully in the Gerry Marshal race at the 78th Goodwood Members Meeting.

Based on the original Datapost Mini car raced by Alan Curnow in the 1978/79 British Saloon car championship. This scheme was the obvious choice to accompany the works Swiftune pair and since its build in 2016 has competed in races in the UK and Europe.

Originally built by Dale Racing, commissioned by regular historic racer Steve Jones, the car has been meticulously built with Swiftune recently fully upgrading all steering and suspension. The car is built upon an original 1978 GT shell, adding to its authenticity, purchased from a collector in Germany and comes with new FIA HTP papers.

The Swiftune engine is an exact copy of what was built for the Longman replica car and has recently been upgraded with the latest crankshaft, rods and camshaft at a cost of £8k and now has zero hours usage. The engine has been built to the letter of the period regulations, with the split weber carbs, cylinder head and the correct capacity.

The car is prepared ready to race and is eligible to race in the Gerry Marshall Trophy for group 1 touring cars at the Goodwood Members Meeting, in which Nick Swift has previously found much success in the Swiftune Longman replica. Also eligible for the Motor Racing Legends Historic Touring Car Championship as well as the three new UK group 1 race series being introduced by Equipe Classic Racing, the HRDC and the GT&SCC.
