    Not what Lionel told me.
    Nor what the photo records he showed me would suggest. But, what accurate informative came from his lips anyway.....
    Hang on. I seem to recall the insurance chassis went to Andrew Dearing? Or again what I was told.

    I'm not sure what photo records suggest otherwise.
    There were only 4 Corse I Ferrari chassis made that I am aware of.
    The first was modified back to an Alfa and is now in the US,
    The 2nd is the one under the EVO
    The 3rd is in Japan
    The 4th I think is now also in Japan after languishing in a barn in the UK for many years.

    A photo I took of the GTO in the paddock, when I went to watch John Rutter race his Hawk at Cadwell:

    I'm well aware the Evo was built from an I type chassis.
    What I was referring to was that UDN's demise led to Lionel starting the Evo project.
    The insurance job replacement S chassis went to Andrew Dearing/Tony Favarin as far as I am aware, through Lionel, and that led on to Lionel acquiring the Evo I chassis. I'm pretty certain the replacement S chassis is not what we see under the GTO.
    Lionel showed me his own photo album which showed his road car (probably contemporaneous with UDN) which certainly showed development firstly into a rally ar and then into a racecar.
    He wrote all this down once I believe but given his propensity for rewriting history then anything could be true.

    I've compared the dash shown in the photos of this car currently for sale, with the period photos of the cockpit of the Tony Soper car.
    All the dash instruments match.

    Was this car ever road registered? If Lionel has the V5 I think could it be requested from Swansea? Might make the difference between a sale or not if it could avoid an IVA test?

    So we have a Evoluzione a GTO and mine the WTF. Thinking about that I may have to Ask CJ if he can do a WTF version of the HF logo for the door as well as the Strazio's for the door top

    It was being built for GT Racing.
    The Privilege Insurance GT series I think.
    As a successor to the GTO car being discussed here.
    As it was told to me the powers that be would not accept it as the series was based on production GT's and I don't think the McLaren F1 owners relished the idea of being beaten by a budget car built in a shed. Or cowshed to be more accurate.

    As it was told to me yes it was registered although probably incorrectly.
    I approached Lionel about the V5 some years ago and he said he still had it but wasn't willing to go further.
    And that approach was solely for his own good, not mine.
