Description:

This car has been consistent developed over the last 5 yeaars of competition into an incredibly
potent competitor. At the 1997 Lime Rock Fall festival it set the same lap time (mid 57s) as well-driven
FVA-powered Formula 2 cars and bested pro-driven highly-prepared Lotus 23s. The 1983 British Hillclimb
Chapionship car, it was brought to the U.S. and fitted with a 185 Hp. twincam and systematic development
began. It is now outfitted with two different body styles, a low drag configuration and a high downforce
configuration featuring a concave sports car nose and rear wing. The twincam has just been freshened,
and the car is ready to run at the front of it's class in the next season. The engine has been extremely
reliable all season racking up 4 races and 3 enduros (18 hours) before the current rebuild. The car handles
superbly in the dry or wet.
