Race in VSCDA Group 9 or other vintage series in this GTP/Camel Lights racecar. Designed and built by Jo Marquart (founder of Anglia Cars LTD, England, also former McLaren F1 Chief Designer). This chassis 102 ran 10 Camel GTP races in 1984-85 including the 24 Hours of Daytona, with best GTP finish 4th. It was then converted to a Camel Lights spec and did 10 more races through 1985 finishing 1st at Watkins Glen and 1st at Laguna Seca. The car was driven by Charles Morgan, Bill Alsup, Whitney Ganz and later owned by HANS device co-developer and Argo Camel Lights champion Jim Downing. Take it vintage racing or just be the fast guy at track day events. The co*ckpit fits my 6’1” 180# frame.
