Is that the same Phil Sharp, ex Nicholson McLaren engines etc who also drove a Modus in the first Formula Pacific series Jan 1977?

Come on, in this PC world he will get a slap on the hand with a wet WINZ voucher! He would be lucky to get as much as 3 months if he had pinched the thing with 24 witnesses and a shotgun in hand.
I am happy that Phil has it back, but zero confidence that the "justice" system will care one iota.

Good to see it's back unharmed(?), and never even left Northland. I thought it might have gone like a heap of stolen Toyota Hiaces - whipped into shipping containers with false documents and off to the Middle East or somewhere, never to be seen again.
