After repeated requests for photos, here it is.
Thanks for the help and encouragement Vin, Bruno, Scott, Ed, Phil, Brad, Evan & Sheldon etc to build a race car.
1973 2000 GTV restored body with weight reduction as permitted, built to CAMS group S spec. Polly Carbonate side glass, Colin Byrne full Cage, Pace Engineering suspension, Pace Engineering modified 3.7 LSD rear axle, Pace modified double acting shockers, brakes, seats and steering wheel by Maranello Motors, Dunlop D03G tyres on Superlite wheels with 24mm offset, triple core radiator, engine largely unknown though race prepared some years ago, everything else new or restored to a high standard.
My plan is to improve the car continuously and to do Club Sprints and Regularity events, until the driver is up to speed and safe to mix it with the Group S squad.
