Trevor and the Starlet also won Ashley Forest Rallysprint in 1985 and Aust-NZ Sports Sedan Champion in 1986. The race car was powered by a 4.2 L Oldsmobile V8 but is now powered by a 4.0 L Rover V8. Power is routed through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission and Jaguar limited-slip differential. Trevor sold the car in 1988. Recently he was given the change to drive the car again. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
