Ex–Joe Sposato 1988 Swift DB4 Formula Atlantic Race Car
United States • 4 Aug 2026
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
A 1988 Swift DB4 Formula Atlantic race car, formerly driven by Joe Sposato, featuring a 1.6L Toyota engine and Staffs 5-speed manual transaxle. It was refinished in a white, red, and blue livery with sponsorship decals around 2008 and includes spare parts and wheels.
Condition
6
The car has had some repairs and repainting done after an axle broke in 2017. The steering rack and pinion were rebuilt in 2024, and the transaxle has been overhauled. While the mechanicals appear to have been maintained, the incident in 2017 and the fact that it's a race car suggest it has seen significant use and likely requires some reconditioning, fitting the 'Good' category.
