Thanks for showing your great photos Mark105. Taken by a pro.

I am wondering if anyone, maybe the owners, of the GTV in one of those pics with Mirabella Racing on the windscreen can share any info, history etc. It has the extra headlights as if rallying or 12/24hr racing, is LHD and looks very authentic European racing scene, except for the local Historic registration rego plates. Very nice looking machine;

PS It had two Italian drivers on the door but they may be the original drivers overseas.

It is an Autodelta Group A rally car.  Brought in from Italy by Andrew Cannon, car was prepared by Bruno Colautti at Maranello Pur Sang.
Had gearbox problems, apparently spare Autodelta gearboxes are not that plentiful, as is straight cut gears.
That said, it is a beautiful car.

PS Mark, can you give me the full photos of red GTV no. 3, as you can guess I never get pics of the car.
