- Purchased in 1995 to be built up as a Vintage Race car. Autocrossed
the first summer to see what was wrong. Not much except weak
cylinder and poor cosmetics. Restoration started early 1996,
completed as strong - fast driver. Lack of Vintage Race Events
with 500 miles precluded finishing as race car. Restoration completed
in summer of 1999. Have been touring and tweeking since.
