A victim of the Max Power generation but under all that filler is a potentially awesome car.

Anyone got £1,500 I can borrow?

If only they had known about the dellara kit...

 

[jimbro1000]

Its a Faran Eliminator body or kit - regarded by many as superior to the Dallara design but that is a matter of taste of course.

I read the dellara body work was designed by Nuccio Bertone himself... I guess the dellara kits are harder to fit and vary in quality...

 

[jimbro1000]

The fitting process isn't much different but the Faran kit is consistently much more solid (not always a good thing). There are two grades of it though, road and race. The race panels were thinner but I don't know of any examples that still remain.

A good half of the Farans were factory built so the fitting should be better

why has it got bonnet lifters on the front?

Maybe to reduce the drag from the windscreen wipers.
