This evocative and competitive historic grand prix car has recently been reunited with the Legendary Rupert Keegan. Hesketh and Keegan and are two names synonymous with Grand prix racing and with a period of F1 which will be romantically remembered forever. Rupert Keegan himself being the last ever privateer in Formula one.

After 26 years, the two were reunited at Donnington Park and Rupert was immediately on the pace in what he described as a "superbly balanced and driving car." Thus showing neither had lost their pace and performance.

This car has been maintained regardless of cost and exercised in many races including the Force Championship races as well as the Monaco Historique 2002. This car is eligible for both TGP and FORCE championships.
