The car has new fuel cell bladders, fire bottle, seat belts, and is RACE READY. There is a spare set of wheels and tires.



Racing History of Chassis #300-12:

In 1969 the car was imported to the USA by Lothar Motschenbacher from Trojan and was sold to Bob Essex. This was one of two M10As brought into the United States that year. It finshed second-place at the 1970 SCCA Runoffs with Bob Esseks, followed by years of competition with several other drivers, including Jan Label, who won divisional championships in 1976 and 1977, then the car was stored until it was sold.

Lou Pavesi and his son ran the car in multiple vintage events before selling to Wes McNay in December 1988. Wes McNay documented the car’s history and commissioned a rebuild of the tub by Bahner. The original bulkheads and roll bar were used in the rebuild. George Frey of RaceKraft & Design bought car in 2008, installed a regulation engine as well as modified the suspension and engine oiling system. This car is now powered by a 580-horsepower 302CI Chevrolet ‘small block’ V-8, and with its monocoque body weighing only 1,500 pounds, it is capable of reaching over 200 MPH on a straight.
