I like this forum so much - I learn something every day! This is a car I never knew existed.

It was built in 1970, Follis building the chassis, and the bodywork by a specialist. The engine is from a crashed Ferrari 250GT, so was already about 8 years out of date, and apparently performance was not scintillating. It seems to have been used in European hillclimbs, and the championship was usually for 2-litre sports cars, so it mus have been a bit lonely in a probably thinly-populated large car class.

Follis' usual offerings were mopeds.
