p>This particular car was recently purchased from Stephan Rosina in Italy by noted New Zealand historic racer, Roger Wills, where it had been a successful FIA race car. During the Winter of 2011 the car was then sent to American V8 specialists Falcon Hell Racing in Hereford, and has just been 'breathed on' by Wes Harding and the boys with over £16,000 just spent on FIA legal upgrades. It is now capable of running at the very front of any FIA European Touring Car series./p>

p>Running with a strong and reliable Tim Adams built 289 FIA engine, the car has set some very competitive times in recent testing and has the potential to win outright in any of the current European FIA Touring car series, including the Masters series, in the right hands./p>

p>Now focussing on some modern World Sportscar racing, including the 2012 race at Le Mans, and selected high profile historic meetings, the car is now surplus to Roger's immediate requirements and offers somebody a unique chance to buy a front running car at a very competitive and realistic price. Small spares package, period livery and FIA papers included! /p>
