What was that early 1990s 3 litre prototype series?

Anyone remember, something like Sports 3000? They were like smaller Group C cars with (I think) a Vauxhall 3 litre 24 valve six (or maybe it was a Ford?).

It was a bit like a one make series, but I think some cars entered other races too. I have a feeling that the bodies were made by Ultima, but I may be wrong.

Any of those cars still around? They'd make interesting and inexpensive historic racers nowadays.

That's it thanks. An old PH thread tells me they were Ford V6 24v engines (Scorpio) and that Lee Noble at Ultima designed the bodywork.

Would make a nice track-day / road car too!

Thanks again guys. I used to have a Renault 5 Turbo 2 and it had a clutch change in the mid 1990s by a guy called Mike Haines Racing (Evesham I think). He was also running a Prosport 3000 car at that time and I had a good look at it in his workshop. He went on to a Venturi 400LM. Are there any still around? Much more interesting than an Ultima.

I'm surprised they're still worth 80K though. I thought a long-forgotten 20 year-old obsolete race car of no particular provenance would be cheaper than that.
