Was raced in the '80's by Roger Mac when owned by John Lewis.

I recall Bobby Unser driving it on a Pirelli Marathon in the early 90's- think he crashed it fairly heavily as well....? Still in John Lewis' ownership at that time I guess?

Very vague memories of reading somewhere that Roger Mac raced 'DJU' both as a 'current' car in the 60's and as a 'historic;' during Lewis' ownership- and I've got a feeling VIVA GT is right about there being a Protheroe connection- Anyone know more?

Unser hit a bus,drove the car very hard in the rally,the video is a ripper
Car was very successful in the early '80s in European Historic racing against the Ferrari GTO and factory supported Alfa team.
Photos?

If it is John Lewis's car he re-aquired it [will check], and as far as I know still owns it. Famous for the look on Warren Pearce's face when John turned up sporting a rear aerofoil on the boot.
