Pierre Martins should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
All these Ford Capri threads...

Cologne, BTCC and NZ Capris...

Prompted me to throw in the famous Bob Olthoff Gunston Perana, now owned by Peter Lindenberg and still competing in historic racing in South Africa. I've seen Peter in this car beat serious Porsches, including local ace Peter Gough's 3.8 rsr on occasion.

More info here -

Cheers,
Pierre.

Thanks Pierre,
That is a very nice car. Are there many of the original Perana road cars around ?

Bruce.

Pierre
How many Peranas were built? I read somewhere that 100 were built, and then again, about 400.

While we're at it, I finally dug up the page on Allan Moffat's site that our Northern Hemisphere members may not have seen:

Unfortunatly for SOUTH AFRICA ,Australia seems to have a collection of non-existant rally PERANA'S built in ADELIADE to really non -existant & dubious specifications.In other words POSSIBLE fakes?
