Default Spotted - Very nice Jeff Zwart 964 Rally Car

My brother was driving on the 101 near Sonoma in Northern California and spotted this Valvoline 964 Rally car with Martin Headland and Jeffrey Zwart on the side. This was last Sunday, the 17th. What an amazingly beautiful car and by the looks of it, it is still being used for rally (as it should).

Does any body else know any more info about this car? Do either of these drivers still drive this car, or is this somebody else who decided to keep the original names on the car? Does Jeff Zwart have a website with any of his (porsche photography) work online?

Wow, that's CRAZY!! ...how cool that your Brother took pics.

I can't tell if that's Jeff Zwart or not, but it sure would be cool if someone could verify.

Yeah, I'd love to find out of this is Jeff Zwart, and if anybody knows if he has a website up or anything with his work.

this is the same car he campaigned in the early 90's it is equipped with a paris-dakar (C4 Lw/t) gear box (manually adjustable Diff;s), suspension, etc. It did pretty good in SCCA Pro Rally if i remember correctly.
SCCA Pro Rally is not around any longer - it was bought out by Rally America a few years ago.

Interesting that it is "street legal"

Has anyone got any competition photo's or videos of it?

The only one i can find is this flickr one from the SCCA Pro Rally and one of Zwart's own films.

Jeff Zwart and Tony Sircombe, first overall 1994 Doo Wop National Rally.


Yes i know this is an old post but i'd rather bump than start a new thread.

Too funny most of those pictures were taken in Petaluma directly opposite where one of my businesses is.
