In 1985, Ad Dijkstra from The Netherlands spotted this 2300S Coupe being raced at the 9th Historic Zandvoort Trophy at Zandvoort racetrack.

The car was driven by Kerry Sullivan and was registered CNM490C.

The car was entered in the touring car class, built after January 1, 1958, 1,150 - 7,000 cc

Ad remembers that the car played an insignificant role in the race and might even have failed to finish the race.

Is this car still around?

Many thanks to Ad for kindly providing the picture from his archive.
