Description:

This exceptional Diva GT 10F, chassis no. D61, was built in 1965 by Tunex Conversions as part of the small production run of fewer than 75 Divas—of which less than ten are believed to be the 10F version. Designed by Don Sim and based on a lightweight fiberglass body and independent suspension, the 10F was intended to combine serious race pedigree with road usability.

This particular car is not only road-registered in Sweden, but also a documented winner:
In 1968, it secured the Swedish Sportscar Championship under Erling Carlsson, one of Sweden’s top privateer racers at the time. The car remained in Swedish hands ever since, with just one long-term owner between 1969 and 2022—a passionate enthusiast who continued racing it in the 1970s, with a comeback in 1987, before preserving it carefully for nearly four decades. Today, the odometer reads an astonishing 9,734 km.
