This car was built by 2 ex Alan Mann Racing mechanics. I forget their names. It was built for Bill Shaw Racing and fitted with a 360+ BHP engine that was out of John Coundley's Mclaren Oldsmobile. 4303cc of Traco power.The problem at Mallory Park was the standard Rover 2000 gearbox which was replaced eventually with an American sourced gearbox.
The car was sold to Alec Poole and raced mainly in Ireland.
Rover also built a car for the Marathon de la Route at Nurburgring,Roy Pierpoint, Clive Baker and Roger Enever driving. The car led at the start of the race and held a lead of 3 laps at one point. I do not remember the rest of the story.
