It's a Schuppan 962cr with proper clothes but it isn't an actual race car. Facking epic all the same, methinks it also isn't a 2.6 litre 965 engine in there...

Fantastic!

Back in the Mid 90s I worked for a race car company based in an old pig farm in the wilds of Dorset. I was involved in rebuilding a Spice Group C car for a lady who lectured in Aerodynamics at Cranfield.

The Spice was a Tiga chassis with a rip off of a Porsche 956 body and aero package. The car raced several times at Le Mans and over the years ran a turbo Buick V6, an olds mobile V8. and in C2 guise with a Volvo 240t group A touring car engine.

We rebuilt it with a 630bhp small block chevy, and fitted some road legal tyres, and in those Pre SVA days, My mate Al drove it down the tiny country lanes to the village MOT station. It passed and after a trip to the DVLA recieved a Number plate.

After vigourous shake down, which involved Al doing numerous donuts in the yard in it, the car was presented to the customer. Who gave it to her son as an 18th birthday gift. :o
