Yes, I thought it's an interesting car from the perspective that it was able to be registered . . and that he's maintained more or less the stock drive train, though the gearbox may well have that straight cut close ratio gear set - don't know.
The owner tells me the 807 engine was at 2.2 litre capacity at one point.
Other than those who consider originality to be sacrosanct, everyone will have their own philosophy on where to draw the line on modifications.
It's a funny world. I rather like the idea of a Zetec but always baulk at the extra weight and what that might do to the balance in an S2. To me, that balance is worth something.
Heck, there's people out there who shoehorn in an Alfa or Nissan V6 and they go like the clappers.
F'rinstance, if you're going to a 47 type rear end like this one or Jon Lexau's, why not install a Subaru boxer engine. Plenty of power, and they're only two cylinders long which would move the CG both forward and downward.
Yes, Stephen, I believe it's been for sale for a time and selling racers is always more difficult than a road car.
He says there are no other genuine historic mid 1970’s production sports cars racing in Oz so he's forced to race against F1, F2 cars etc. It obviously wouldn't qualify for class Sb.
I reckon he should convert it back to a road car.
