Paul Hassall's
TransformerA Gp4 version of the Transformer painted in Alitalia colours. This car was sourced in the West Country some 2 years ago. Built by the previous owner, and professionally finished by Courtney Garage. The car is powered by a Lancia Beta engine, prepared by Avanti Motorsport to stage 2, which is coupled to a Monte Carlo 5 speed gearbox. The engine sings through a one peace stainless steel exhaust, but alas is still two cylinders short of the best noise. The car is mainly used for trips to and from Motorsport events, such as Le Mans.
