OT: B19 on BaT

Post by gridgway »

Saw this B19 for sale on BaT...

Love the description "A 1990s refurbishment included replacing the chassis, body, and suspension, while the removed parts were used to assemble a different B19"

So nothing material of the original car is left then?

Or have I misunderstood?

Indeed, a recreation in other words.
Still worth £130k here.

From the detail below, it could have raced against my Lola!

Doubt the Skoda body was steel...

It was subsequently raced by a number of British drivers before being fitted with a steel Skoda body and raced in Super Saloon events from 1977 to 1983. It was imported to the US in the 1980s

A B19 would be great. If it had or could easily get FIA papers!
