The first Lant made its debut at Killarney, 8,5,82 driven by Trevor van Rooyen who used it for the rest of the 82 season. A second car was completed towards the end of the season and raced by Roy Klomfass at Kyalami 4.9.82.
There may be significantly more Ralt in the first car than the second:
Lahner bought an RT4 new from Ralt 16.10.81 and may have used this as the basis of the first car. [The RT4 that van Rooyen races in 1981 before the Lant appears is said to be an ex Tilanus car, so might be RT2 [154] rather than this car [RT4 -272]
The Ralt sales records obtained by Adam Ferrington have tub, gearbox and fuel cell numbers so we might be able to get some kind of handle on this.
Ian Hebblewhite would be a good person to talk to about the car's history.
