History

This car was first driven by Keke Rosberg as part of a two car team with Bobby Rahal in the 1978 Tasman series, run by the US importer, Fred Opert. A number of period photos of both cars accompany this listing. Rosberg's car (this car) was #1 and Rahal's car, chassis 06, carried number 2. These photos were taken by Greg Neaves at Baypark Raceway at round one of the five meeting, 10 race series. The other rounds were at Pukekohe, the NZ International GP meeting, Manfield, Wigram and Teretonga Park. The car was later run by Opert for Divina Galica at Long Beach 1978. It was then sold to an American owner and has been in US ownership to this day.Performance Data
