i remember seeing photos of a martini liveried nova years ago, lancia style livery tho, not the ford style.
dont remember seeing a marlboro style car.
i know the one your on about.I last see it being driven like a **** around combe about 3 years ago.
Was on eBay some time ago, TBH was a rought conversion and half hearted track car IMO. Im sure ive got the TV mag with it in still.
I remember that thing. ^ What he said. Ropey POS.

As all have said, it was a bag of wan*k!
Not worth a second glance.
Its amazing how you can make a bag of $hite stick in peoples minds with some two inch tape and some left over paint
so no one can answer his question then i remember the mag it was in but i wouldnt mind seing it again it looked awsome from what i remember.
I personnal don't have any pictures of it, but do remember the feature and seeing it on the 'Bay shortly after

There was a similar one at PVS 08, pretty sure it was trailered there for the strip, I raced against it, think he missed 3rd or 4th and did some damage because it screeched to a stop, lol! Might be the same one???

if you read all about it, it says something like they couldn't decide what steering wheel they wanted..its two brothers that built it, so they both had to agree to things..
amazing what rubbish sticks in your mind..
