Packing a flat-six, the car was promptly rolled into the workshop of race car preparation specialist, Essex Motorsport Services (EMS), before being rebuilt to enable Greg to compete in historic motorsport competitions. He intends to race the Targa-topped bruiser in the Historic Sports Car Club’s ‘70s Road Sports category and in various tournaments across Europe, which is why the EMS team had to make several alterations to meet local safety regulations — a Cobra Monaco Pro driver’s seat accommodates FIA-mandated Sparco six-point harnesses, while the team has also installed a Lifeline fixed fire suppression system (to replace the handheld extinguisher fitted in North America) and replaced the car’s tired steering wheel with a new flat-bottomed OMP item.
