Running full house, 8-valve 2 litre motor with Schrick 300 degree solid lifter cam and twin Weber sidedrafts. Last dyno sheet gave 188 bhp with over 200 torgue at the front wheels. Virtually nothing to touch it on a tight circuit. Great fun with the Webers howling away virtualy on your lap.

Will eventually paint it in factory racing colors.- Very light. Go's like the clappers with a distinctive sound from the 308 V8 & 4x Weber DCNF's,on open pipes.
