Gipsy Dino 271P

Hi

Can any one shed any light on this car. Having recently bought it I am would like to know a little more. I am unable to post a picture

Kind regards

Jim Morris

On behalf of Luigi Moreschi and Romano Martini ( known as "Shangrila) Italian racing firm Autocostruzioni GIPSY built this fabulous race car in 1971, constructed by Dallara, with the aim to take part at the 1000 km at Monza in the Prototype 2000 class. The engine is based on a 2 litre Ferrari Dino engine, fed by a Lucas racing- injection system, giving a power output of approximately 220-230 HP. The engine is mated to a Hewland FT 200 gearbox with several ratio possibilities. The car started at Monza in 1971 and after several further outings - namely at the N�rburgring in 1972 - the car was then regulary raced in Italian hill climbs
