Default Rothmans Porsche 911 - Billy Coleman

As a kid (in Ireland), Billy Coleman was my childhood racing hero -- especially when he was driving the Rothmans Porsche 911.



Here's a vintage clip of him in action from 1986...

A friend of mine who did a lot of bodywork on my '73 built a replica of the later 959 based Rothmans car, brought it to the Lime Rock historics to show it, came out great!
