A wonderful opportunity to own a famous ex-BTCC Capri with great history.
Helped by the success of his Motor Sport and Performance Car accessory business (run with his brother Derek), Gordon Spice became an established racing driver from the late 60s, through the 70s and 80s in saloons and Group C.
A veteran of 14 Le Mans races and 4 FIA C2 World Championship titles, he raced over 70 different cars during his long career.
