Does this car still exist?
Apparently it had a special 'heavy duty' bodyshell with various mods, including extra wide Richard Oakes designed wheel arches, dural plated floor, larger fuel tank, full roll cage etc.
It was fitted with a full race specification 1430cc/120BHP engine mated to a trick automatic gearbox! Quoted 0-60 mph was 4.5 seconds!
It was developed and driven by David Bird from Stoke-on-Trent, co-driven by Richard Potts circa 1980.
I would be very interested in further info. concerning this beast!!!
Dave.
