Spice C2 Spice SE86 001 According to Ian Briggs and John Starkey the authors of the Golden Era: - “With the single exception of the Porsche 956/962, Spice Engineering was the premier constructor of competitive Group C and IMSA sportscars.” The car was designed for Pontiac and had to resemble a Pontiac Fiero car in silhouette. Spice SE86 001 is the first all Spice Group C car and it has some superb history. Gordon Spice and Ray Bellm originally raced the car. They won the C2 class of the Group C World drivers Championship in 1986 and 1987. It is in this Cannons / Listerine livery that the car is running in today. In 1987 the car won the C2 class of the Le Mans 24 hour and also finished in 5th place overall. For the 1987 Le Mans race the car ran in the yellow Dianetique colours of their sponsor. It also raced in the opening races of the ’87 season in Cannons / Listerine colours winning at the Norisring, Nurburgring and Jarama races. After Le Mans the car raced at the Norisring with Gordon Spice and Ray Bellm before being transferred to Chamberlain Engineering who ran the car for the rest of the ’87 season. The Spice / Bellm combo used chassis 003 for the rest of the ’87 season. This chassis has contested 5 Le Mans 24-hour races between the period of 1986 and 1990. Although the car was based on a Pontiac Fiero they always ran with the popular Cosworth DFL (long stroke) engine. It is featured in a number of books and has one of the best histories of the Spice Group C cars.
