Pre-73 rear wings are faked - front bodywork is RSR-lookalike fibreglass.

When Bernie told me his plan involved a Rotrex supercharger, fog lights, custom fibreglass and massive wheels I was a little surprised! The funniest thing for me is Bernie; he's a lovely guy until the cameras are rolling!" - reported at http://www.porkers.co.uk/topic.asp?t=1200442&f=204&h=11&p=21 .
