More like a Reiger kit than a genuine racecar Thundersaloon kit, going by the homo testarossa slits in the rear arches.

This car was in all the mags back in the early/mid '90's.Was running 8 injecters,T4 etc etc,supposed to make 500 BHP.Seen it out on track either 1993 or 1994 at Nat Day,and I'd swear there was XR2's lapping quicker,the owner had a bigger wallet than talent!! Regards Micky
