Did Ertl ever run this car with a turbo Zakspeed engine or is it a myth?
Also does anyone know what became of both of these chassis - Im intrigued to know why they were both the basis for F1 test engine mules.
C9 was the mulletta that Henton described as the quickest thing he had ever driven when he tested it at Goodwood in late 80/early 81, unfortunately it didnt stop so well on F2 brakes and tyres.

C8 is the one I am interested in.
