Dan Rear should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Doesn't happen often (!!), but I agree with Drifty here.

There was only ever 1Karmann Ghia Spec Saloon/GT car running in Britain, the Enderby one. It had a 1300cc engine originally, so couldn't have been giving anywhere near 500hp, even I know that! I'm sure it was based around Tiga SC79 S2000 car, so I'm not sure about the F2 March bits either. The BDT motor was also used extensively by the Roy Baker Group C2 Tigas, in the mid 80s.

The chassis no would commence "HU" I'd have thought, were the 490s and 492s numbered in 1 sequence does anyone know?? OTOH there were about
10 T490s made in 1977, all later ones were 492s, made in 1978 and 79.
