Hi Enzo

Dave Charlton and Basil van Rooyen raced this car in South Africa in 1978.  It was fitted with a V6 twin turbo Ferrari engine and raced in the Sillhouete series.  This car was VERY quick but not very reliable.

Now that would make a nice replica. Road legal of course, would scare everybody!
