Unveiled at 1964 Turin show, only 3 prototypes made, the second of which was not even completed in period. 1st and 3rd had BMW 2-litre engines, the 2nd had a Buick event when eventually finished. All 3 survive today. This #30 was chassis 70/GT/1, Richard Wrottesley/Tony Lanfranchi, retired. Useless bit of trivia - Tony Lanfranchi's most famous achievements were racing and rallying Moskvitch 412s in early 70s saloon car series. -- Last edit: 2025-02-18 01:49:55 |
