Good point; I'll use it as a point to haggle him down a bit! 
Seriously, imagine turning up at Le Mans in THAT!

It's the rack I think. Fairly typical of lots of old race cars to have your feet forward of the rack. Might need to invest in a pair of shin
pads if using it on British roads!

Not exactly locost tho' is it?
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

The front lights, not only no good SVA wise, but also outside the Construction and Use Regulations. Wonder how they managed to make that road legal
(well, in a sense, they didn't)
Nice car though.

Group C cars were basically prototypes and just about road legal with wets on. I used to see a bloke collecting his Sunday papers in a Joest Porcshe
an few years ago.
The 962 was available as a customer car to teams other than the works team unlike its predecesor (959?) but never seamed as quick as the works cars.
Runs in my mind the car was £250000 + £250000 for the engine and gearbox.
That ones got Le-Mans bodywork for the pre-chicane 250mph Mussane.

They could only be road legal if they had headlights at or above the minimum height, and the one in the link doesn't. It may well be road
registered, but road legal it ain't. That car could be stopped and booked by any policeman who wanted to.
Maybe it was tested with different front bodywork. Maybe it wasn't tested. Maybe it was tested in NZ where maybe the rules are different.
Still a nice car, I've always liked them.

Hi if it has been used for road use. The first thing you would want to do is have all the magnesium suspension components tested.
Friend brought one and was going to race it asap. He was very glad he never after finding quite a few cracked suspension items. But it has to be
said it has run almost faultlessly since. That is why they are still such a reliable car for privateers at the 24H races. No highly technical bits
every where just good old simple engineering.
