RTH should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Colombo's race shop was a sectioned off part of the family factory which manufactured chrome wire wheels for mopeds - by the million ! We dealed through an interpreter who when asked what the last 5 mins gabble was all about " oh he said yes " So a bit difficult to say really but they all treated us very well and appeared charming. When we went to Monza something must have been lost in translation - they seemed to be under the misaprehension we were F1 "Talent Scouts" and fell all over us with hospitality.

We met the Benetton racing finance manager who asked us who they should sign for '86 - Berger or Patrese ? we both said Berger.

The car is original and perfect in BRG I've been waiting for a historic series for this era of cars - which has never turned up.

I think you summed up Stephen South's position perfectly
