This car was initially built as a Birkett special but developed
into a very rapid multi-race and class winning car over many years. It is
actually a 1967 Mk1 GT6 but with a number of parts from later cars so is not for
the purist! It's not a concours racer, but it never has been; what it is, is very
quick and very easy to drive fast. Videos of this well-known car have over
40,000 YouTube hits combined.
