First registered by Liningtons of Portsmouth in April of 1987 by its first owner the original service book illustrates 8 services prior to the conversion in 1996.
There are stacks of invoices from both the main dealer and Prima Racing before the second owner made contact with Dimma who would provide a quote for all of the work necessary. In July of 1997 this example started a new life as the car you see today, enjoyed and cherished by only two other owners after. During a period in storage the car was subject to an exhaustive restoration process and has recently been endorsed to Dimma's official 5 GT Turbo section. There is numerous paperwork between the previous owner and manufacturer confirming the genuine body kit number and what was involved with the conversion. Later additions such as clear indicators, revised grille and DTM style mirrors are also provided.
With a history file brimming with invoicing and correspondence from day one, alongside a complete book pack and spare keys, there is also a recent Octane magazine feature with Terry Pankhurst discussing the car's inception and presenting a plaque.
The 80's cult car scene evokes some wonderful memories with some incredible cars - none more provocative than this exceptional example, thought to be 1 of only 2 extant.
