Another Car that Brian took an interest in was the Fiat X19

Was so impressed with it bought one himself ( minus a motor, of course!)
We had a single seater Formula that used Modified Mazda Rotary motors in South Africa, making in excess of 250HP.
To Brian this was an obvious choice, then!
This is a X19 chasing a Ferrari, with a 240HP Acura motor fitted!

A lot of Tuners, Worldwide, did some very interesting and Quick Conversions on them!
