Description:

A LeMans competitor C2 car in 1988 and 1989, this endurance prototype has just undergone a complete
race prep and done only one test day since. The car has been very throughly gone through and all
systems are fully functional, including weather and night equipment.
It is race ready and a standout for HSR Thundersports.



History

The Argo concern was formed by highly regarded Swiss designer Jo Marquart who had proven his worth
at McLaren, Huron, GRD, and Modus. Spurred on by the failure of Modus, Marquart set up shop in
East Anglia at Wymondham, aided by ex Novamotor agent American John Peterson and Nick Jordan. Initially
concentrating on F3 in 1977 the firm experienced mixed success in both F3, Super Vee, and Atlantic.
Perhaps their best efforts were expended on their endurance cars.
