Brian's a great fella, and has raced Firenzas for years. It's a Sports Hatch with a Lotus twin cam head that he has as well as one of the most original HP Firenzas left. I believe it still has most if not all of it's original paint!

I'm using the guy who maintains my Land-Rovers. He likes classic cars and unlike most places these days knows how to setup carbs for his work with Rover V8s. Sounds like you got yourself a good find there mate!
