The car, dubbed ‘Gold Member’, was built by Simon Diffey from a restored rolling shell bought from BM Technika. Diffey built it to take racing with his son, taking inspiration from 1970s privateer BMW racers.

The engine is from Snitzer, with a reconditioned head from Laranca. It was originally built by Mass Racing. Power is sent to the wheels via a prototype limited slip differential built by Phil Quaife.
