This car bid to $51,000 (no sale) on BAT a year and a half ago.  Awesome Ex-racer with Daytona 24 hr credentials. The old link from BAT has a lot more information.

fantastic history & great spec, not much use as a historic racecar in Europe at least as very little to race against unless it raced against 80s touring cars with Motor Racing Legends or thel ike where it wouldn't stand a chance

Interesting in the Bring a Trailer description it notes synchro damage to the transmission during the 1978 Daytona race. The car has an FT200 Hewland gearbox. The dog rings may have been damaged, but there are no synchros in that gearbox.

The description states it has GT6 front calipers & discs, would have thought it would have larger racing brakes, the rears look like Girling BR racing calipers
