This interview with Tony Viana was conducted by Roger McLeery around the end of 1986. The car is an E23 BMW 745i modified to take part in Wesbank Modifieds. This is not the same car that was used in the Group One category. (This Wesbank Modifieds car has also been restored in recent years. by the same owner of the Group One 745i) The South African BMW 745i production road car used the M88 motor from the M1, using Bosch Electronic fuel injection. However, this Wesbank Modifieds racing car used 3X Weber 55 DCO sidedraught carbs, something lost through the restoration unfortunately. It produced about 350 kw. Driver Tony Viana unfortunately died from cancer around 1993. He has always been a hero of mine. Long may his memory survive.
