Description:
This is one of the most classic and formidable F5000 cars
of its era, with a genuine and recorded history from the
day it was built.
It has been totally restored to it's original colour
and specification. Unraced since restoration, it is a runner but has not
circulated at speed since it was restored. It is not race-prepared but
instead accurately restored to as-new condition. It could be race-ready
with the addition of some non-period safety equipment (such as a fire system) and a go-through.
Some of the plumbing might want updating to modern materials as all original-spec equipment was used.
It's restorer is a professional race mechanic and race-quality hardware and fasteners were employed in
