Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. A new car built up around not much more than a chassis plate (if that). New tub and most everything attached to it. Fuel injected Cosworth Vega engine. Everything polished and immaculately presented to the highest racing car standards. Shows some, but minimal, use mechanically, otherwise pristine and RTR.

Market commentary

Its interesting that Americans, culturally the most competitive nation on earth, eschew the construction and racing in vintage events of purpose built vintage race cars while Europeans, who dismiss Americans Pebble Beach restorations, happily create modern race cars on old designs. This, a fine example of the latter, is offered in the wrong culture to be enthusiastically received and highly valued.
