That would be Shawn (Shaun?) Donnelly. I vaguely recall the car when he was racing it. I think he sold it to race an RX7.

Just finished talking to Silvestro Severi who owned the car after donnely and actually raced it at Indonesia in 1992. He has the original log book, but doesnt no where it is. HAHA. He sold the car on to someone else in 1996. But he doesnt remember what his name was. Im slowly getting the History together. Does anyone know anything about the Indonesia trip in 1992?????

for details on the indo trips, probally best to speak to mr boost as his father did alot of the organising from the nsw end, from memory he went over three times, but the 120y only once

goodluck

Ok
So its been like 2 years since i got my hands on the giant killer dato.
Pulling it out of the corner of the shed, blowing the dust off, work starts (soon).
Working on getting a historic log book for the little beast. Going to restore it to original specs. Just sorting out the 13b pp setup, and still need a 5 speed box (amongst other things)

STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS AND PICS!!!

Steve

Ps. Also still compiling the cars history and pictures, so if you have any other details about the car, or pictures of it, it would be great to be in my collection.
Cheers

According too John Anderson, the car was bought and sold by him 3 times in 8 or so years!
He said he just loved it that much!
