Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 409 700hp Lucas McKay fuel injected Chevy, Hewland LG600 5 speed. Raced by Mike dUdy and Frank Gardner in 1969 and at Sebring in 1970 (dnf). Restored in 1986, purchased by Bob Akin in 1994 and completely prepared to Akins high standards. Clocked 212mph at Daytona. Freshly prepped for 2002 season and unused since Akins death. An outstanding example in presentable cosmetic condition but carefully race prepared.

Market commentary

Arguably one of the finest sports prototypes ever built, exceptionally pretty and brutally strong. Any car from Bob Akins shop is meticulously prepared and deserves to be driven enthusiastically.
