Andy Wallace shared the car with Thyrring on one or two occasions.
Yes it had a 5l Ford, was built from one of the 39 roadgoing "Nuove Pantere" - was driven from Italy to Britain, then modified to GT1 spec. by ADA engineering. Later appeared at Le Mans (briefly), was taken over by Superpower and modified again, still GT1 but for Brit GT competition, XJR15 front suspension, 962 rear suspension, but still the old 5l V8.
Superpower folded in 1999. The car then briefly appeared in the AutoItalia series, but seems to be (have been?) owned by someone who is more of a Ferrari afficionado than anything else, and had no inclination of putting the car to good use.
My absolute ABSOLUTE all time favourite GT.
