As this would have to run in the modified class, I would imagine the gearbox would have to have been strengthened or a Porsche box fitted.
Can not remember it running at Grand Central or Kyalami during my youth.
Maybe some one has photo's ??

Due to illness,...dementia ....it was very difficult to get more
The next person has retired in Australia
If someone can trace Ooom Koos Barkhuizen in Capetown I am sure he can tell us more
