I used to work with a bunch of guys that built the origonal Tony Edmenson Alfetta sports sedan. They decided to use the Alfetta because it of the transaxle. One of the few rules was the use of a transaxle only if the origonal car had one. A while ago I was talking to the main guy who built it and asked him what car was the basis for the race car. He said it was an old rally car called a GTAM. When I told him how rare this car was he told me the car was very tired and took the anglegrinder to it quite happily. This car was later destroyed in a race crash and all that is left of it is the torque tube that joined the chev V8 to the Hewland. And that tube is now a stand for a tube bender in the workshop.
