This car (along with 166, 104 & 159) was originally intended for Dennis O'Conner III in Texas , USA but he died before the car was sent and I think she was then sold to Innes Ireland around 1989 with a 600 BHP kit.
In February 2004 I found the car being offered for sale on the www. - I spoke to the seller (SS) and he confirmed it was ar 2.1 Evolution model and had never been out in the rain - It was at that time living in Brighton, MA, USA. The price was set at $129,850 which is about £72,424.56 roughly and is cheap for an EVO. As you can see this vehicle was destined to be chassis 213 but remained as chassis 070.
In October 2005 I was reading some of the original RS Owners Magazines and it stated that #070 was at the Pembry meet in 1990 and was then with Terry Hoyle. In December 2007 I made contact with the seller (SS) again he no longer had the car for sale and he had no idea where it had gone.
In 2014 I tracked it down to the Dirt Fish in the US according to this article http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/ga ... _12_12_13/.
July 2015 - #070 has arrived in the UK and is for sale here http://www.joemacari.com/All-Cars-for-Sale/
March 2023 - I believe 070 was the car for sale here:-
