Driven by F1 ace Trevor Taylor to pole positions and podium finishes in F5000. Also owned and driven by Graham McRae who helped Terry develop LT-25 further and in fact bought Leda cars at the end of 1971 naming the next Leda LT-27 the McRae-GM1. Excellent, race ready condition, well maintained, five races since restoration to Trevor's '71 colors. Full monocoque, inboard brakes, 1 hour on rebuilt gearbox, strong and proper 5 liter Chevy with Kinsler injection. Snorkel and a spare nose (painted). Sharp looking fast car, a definite favorite in the pre-72 class.
