In September 1975 at the Penang street circuit there was a 'Super Saloons' race in support of the Penang Grand Prix. A BMW 2002 turbo was entered & driven by Eric Ooi. The upper picture was taken during the race at the Weld Quay corner.
in 2021 we re-created this pic - same exact car, same location - 46 years later. The warehouse at the back is a bit more dilapidated, the car restored close to its original condition.
Thanks to Johnny Ooi for his original 1975 photo, plus Adrian Chua for his modern re-creation.
Some Pics of recent restoration 2017-2020:
This last pic taken by the previous owner, probably late 1980s or early 90s (converted to RHD, painted white & missing belt line)
