The Gearbox is the Hewland FGA and original to the car and fully restored by JPR Racing. Also fitted with the larger front F5000 callipers as used in the 1000km races of the time make this a very original spec car.

This was an extensive rebuild, starting with a fully restored re-riveted and glued tub with new bag tanks, all wishbones stripped and crack tested before re-plating, new upright and bearings(old ones restored for spares),new discs and and caliper seals,gearbox casing re-chromated, re-wired,new wheels for the slicks(old ones used for wets) the list goes on, our intention was to race the car ourselves in the CER Championship so this was not just a quick makeover for re-sale, no corners were cut !!.

The car is for sale complete with extensive paperwork, copies of receipts and photographs,Tank certificates and with the latest 10 year HTP papers as well as the original RAC papers of 1995 following restoration of the car in 1989.

The car originally went to Italy sold through Italian distributor Trivellato, and was then brought back to the UK where the car was fitted with a Cosworth DFV . The car was then owned by Stefano Sebastiani (Stingbrace) who from the early eighties competed in the Thundersport series with co-driver Robin Smith (owner of Chevron at this time)

During 85 & 86 Sebastiani and Smith also competed in group C races and competed in the 1000km races at Brand Hatch and Silverstone

In 87 Robin Smith bought the car and restored it for export to the USA where the car has been from 1996 to 2012 .

The car is now ready to race and comes complete with new slicks and wets, and has been shaken down by Chris Ward.
