I don't know any of the history of the car, and haven't been able to find anything about it either. It is / was driven by Alan Prince and Michael Hourigan.
Michael Hourigan owned and ran The Toy Shop in Wellington for many years, and prepared amount others the Andrew Bagnall Porsche 911 Carrera RS ( type 964 ) which was campaigned in the Nissan Mobil 500 Street Race support races and the Bridgestone Porsche series and a few other appearances. Michael has since relocated The Toy Shop to Auckland.
