Osella BMW

This car competed in the RJB Mining Group 6 Championship/HSCC 2 Litre Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.
The entry in the programme of the event is for the 1975 2 litre Osella BMW of Lawrence Rose, but I had crossed out the '1975' and written '1972' instead. In 1992 Lawrence Rose appears to have been driving a 1976 Osella PA3, chassis number PA4-039, that was originally a 1974 Osella Abarth 1600cc PA3, chassis number PA2-009. It may be that when it was converted to a PA3 it was given a BMW engine, but I can't see where 1972 comes into it. The above photograph, and the one below, were taken at Lodge Corner.
