    It even has the trunk suitcase bodywork. It doesn't have a 289 forward rollbar. It has 427 style wheels. Ad says it was built by Unique in 1997. Viking blue

    Sure does look like the same car. Did the 97 Unique's have the extend foot boxes? I have a 6'4" friend that is looking at the car.

    Exclamation Nope!

    No, Tony. I have the very first extended foot box car, which came later. I think it was assembled around '09-ish... maybe Alan remembers. He has a pretty sharp memory!

    He won't now as I moved the pedals closer to the driver.
    He hasn't been with my car as he lives in California. I plan on taking my car to Sebring in December and he will be there but the FIA car could be gone by then.

    You or he should reach out to Maurice or Alan to see if they can shed any light on the situation...

    Yes he does. He was very comfortable in the passenger seat and fit in the driver seat no problem. With the bottom cut out dash his knees cleared when bent for my pedal position
