I found these pics on the net a few years ago, and aside from the fact that it runs in SCCA F-Production, and was apparently driven by Les Handly I know nothing about it.
Looks like it has some cool features. If anyone has more pics of this thing I'd love to see 'em!
Check out the oil coolers under the bumper. I'd be a bit worried about stone damage. there must be some kind of duct or heavy screen in front of those things.

Really nice fabrication work everywhere on that car. And a proper cage.
What's to know?
Its been a race car ever since it was imported.
Well built, but could use some updates to be more competetive in F Prod.
Les still owns and drives it.
He lives in central PA and is a friend of Steve Limbert.

I dunno, that was the point in asking!
I've just had the pic a while and have never seen any other shots of the car. I didn't expect any demon tweaks or anything, I just like the look of the thing and like to see how others have done things.
Very cool wheels
Here's a pic from the 2003 Summit Point National.

Les was usually pretty competetive at Pocono, Watkins Glen, and Summit Point.
The car would be very good in vintage racing.
I believe the center exit exhaust is an uber expensive handbuilt piece made by Dave Finch.
I sold him a Mallory distributor a couple years ago.
That's probably the only update the car's had in 25 years.

All shots above taken at Rennsport Reunion III at Daytona by me.
Does anyone know what happened to this car?
I'd be interested in where the flares came from- nice and neat, following the body lines great and stuffin' big ol' meats under there! 
AFAIK Les still has the car and is probably only racing at selected vintage events.
The front flares are steel I think.
Steve Limbert (Aircooled Racing & Parts) makes the rear flares.

Walter "Les" Handley passed away September 11, 2013, at the young age of 70. The car is now owned by Steve Limbert of Air Cooled Racing.

The rear flares look like Bontempi flares to me.
