I've gone through this thread so I gather there are currently 2 Romans, one complete (Roman VJ?) and one a tub (Roman IVH?). Could anyone help with the competition history of this particular Penrose car? From this thread I gather Penrose acquired the car for 2006 from Rob Romeril (who google tells me was active with it in 2002). Am I to assume this car is the Roman VJ, so currently (or as of 2007) owned by John Fellows? Cheers
No the Bob Penrose Roman and the John Fellows car are two different chassis.

The Fellows car is currently for sale less engine whilst the Penrose car is in bits at Steve Owen's OMS factory. Penrose had Steve Owen use the car as a Parts Bin for the OMS that Bob now runs.
