As above, the Malcolm Gartlan / Wiggins Teape Camaro was run in 71 and 72 alongside their RS2600 Capri and driven by the Late / Great Brian Muir.
It was featured in Motor Sport in 1971 and was on show @ the Jan 72 London racing car show.
For 1973, Gartlan / Muir switched to a 3.0CSL
But what happened to the Camaro ?

I googled Wiggins Teape Camaro and pics of a car raced by Pete Hall of ICS came up.

Don't know what year they're from but sometime post millennium.

Assuming it's not a replica car.

Hi, just had a look and yes its a replica. They put some of the Wiggins Teape logos on it.
Just found out that the original one was sold in late 1972 and was re painted. It then changed hands again and was much modified. It was then sold to the States in the early 1980s.
