I do recall pics of the red one from a Ford magazine I have. I wonder how many of them were made? Couldn't have been anymore than a handfull.

Not sure if serious but if so I think your looking at the wrong one, but understandable, very easy to skip over and lock on to her

I'd say it's him. The image on the right is from the 1979 Repco event.

Doohan would've been 15 thereabouts when the publication came out lol.. So too young to be on the road.
He was spending his time on motorcycles at the track,
I know this is an old thread. Just my 2 cents.
