Chassis No.1170341 DEV was the UK registration before the car was shipped to Australia in 1983. Since then the car has been restored from the ground up with tarmac rallying in mind. In the hands of Joe Caudo, the previous owner, it successfully competed in the Targa Tasmania and Classic Adelaide events, winning its class and category in each. Fitted with a 2100cc engine, close ratio 4 speed gearbox with overdrive, later Triumph disc front brakes and a limited slip differential. It also has a CAMS approved roll bar, racing harness seat belts, Terratrip, wood rim Lecarra steering wheel, adjustable brake bias and chrome wire wheels. Chassis No.1170 is now owned by Andrew McCracken.

carefully maintained the vehicle until sold at auction in 2009. Bought by Tom Riegel,
eventually re-built, painted black and offered for sale in 2020. Reported new owner

Chassis No.1172RLL 273 previously belonged to Jim Walker who had bought it in 1975 from a
Birmingham owner. Unfortunately in 1998 Jimmy died, and the car then passed into the hands
of Graham West. After using the Doretti for a couple of years Graham decided a complete
rebuild was necessary and is now in the middle of the task.
A number of former owners have been generous enough to share their memories
of RLL 273 includinRobert Methuen, Jack Berry and
John Kirkland.
