• It was converted to a race car around ten years ago, and has spent the last six years running at the front of the Equipe GTS series with TTP Performance.
• The engine was refreshed in 2025 and reportedly has only 60 minutes of run time under its belt since.
• The odometer shows 46,206 miles, however this is not warranted.

• It rides on a set of 15-inch Minilite-style alloy wheels, wrapped in Dunlop Racing tyres.
• Equipment includes an Alpha three-spoke steering wheel, a roll cage, interior and exterior battery master switches, a Cobra bucket seat with a Schroth Racing harness, Smiths dials, an MSD Digital 6AL ignition control box and a fire extinguisher.
