Modifications:

This car was built in to a racing car by Techspeed of Leamington Spa, under the watchful eye of former head of Andy Rouse Engineering, Vic Drake. Using a clean left hand drive shell which was acid dipped and seam welded, it was fitted with a welded in Custom Cage and built to FIA spec with the best brakes and suspension available. A Lester Owen 3500 cc engine that included period correct rare parts, such as Kugelfischer injection, was built and the car gave a reliable 350BHP. Thoroughly tested but unraced, it was then sold by owners, Ray Armes and Nick Carr, to noted New Zealand racer, Roger Wills.

It was then raced extensively by Roger during the last 4 years (2008-2012 or so all over Europe, in both the Masters 70's series and the JD Classics Challenge for 1970's Touring Cars. It is also eligible for and welcome in Patrick Peter's Classic Endurance Racing series.
