IMO they ruined that car. I've pictures archived of what it looked like when Ahearn bought it. He talked about keeping it as a time capsule......then it was sold.
The only reason I see that they went through the whole resto process was an anticipated ROI for a "hot market".
Oh, and the interior changes DO NOT REFLECT how it was when Hans raced or when Ahearn brought it back into the light of day. That line should be taken with a huge salt lick.
Doing justice to the car should have meant a sympathetic restoration, keeping original paint, cleaning up the interior, leaving the undercoating, etc.
Now, it's just an over restored privateer, no different than a current KlubSport creation that someone happens to be racing.
Really made me sad seeing their "final product"
