It shows up in RacingJunk too under the vintage category.

Just in time for Rolex Monterey Historics.

I wouldn't dare drive it as it needs to be driven.

But if one could afford this, I'm sure one could also afford some coaching from one of the previous, championship winning drivers, who is often Vintage racing in his dad's old cars!

Name the cars of that great era. Clue? They had different shapes. Cookie cutter styling came later.

As an aside, if my memory is somewhat accurate, a highly respected Canadian engineer, the much missed Alec Purdy was involved working for Nissan.

By names, do you mean the class? GTP? Camel Cars and Camel Lights Cars. Or did you mean the makes and models? During the late 80's and early 90's, the cars to beat were the Nissan GTP ZX Turbos before the Toyota Eagles came around and changed all that. The Jaguars were always in the mix as well as the Porsche 962's.

Who's going to be brave enough to give them a ring and inquire about price? :D

I am more interested in the Lister-Bristol they also have for sale. I could at least work on that and drive it.

:thumbsup: Quite a list is my point. GTP BMW's were 1986 I think. I attended the Glen 6 hours that year.

Thanks for jogging my time clouded memory of Camel Lights.

The late 80's were the best time. I drove FV's and also worked the corners at The Glen. I have pieces of both the Jaguar and the Toyota Eagle. The Jaguars were throwing softball-sized marbles because of the uber-sticky Dunlops they were using and it was destroying some of the rear body work as they threw them off. Especially at the end of the back straight (no bus stop then). I got to know the crew of the Nissans fairly well along with Geoff and Chip. Awesome times. I was seventeen and eighteen years old and that time really left a mark on me. That probably began my (healthy?) obsession with sportscar and formula racing. :D

Canepa is practically in my backyard. Bruce even called me one saturday trying to get me to work there! If anyone wants me to "inspect" it before their purchase, I'd be happy to oblige!:ha:

How many laps will you need?

Accept not one lap less than 1,000 — for a proper study.

I would...

There's a 962C on BAT right now too. What I wouldn't give for the Nissan, but I love the 962's too.
