Don't know whether I've got any pics, but the Rosnaes Monza was an absolute beast of a car- Something like 5.7 litres, driving through an automatic gearbox, and launched off the startline like a missile...
IIRC he was an ex-bike racer (speedway rings a very vague bell) who crossed over to cars after losing a leg in a bike accident, and had some link to Thor Holm's crew- the Monza was in the same 'Tork-909/Molnlycke' colours as Holm's RS200 |

It was in one of the finals at a GP as far as I remember
Quite a quick car, though I don't think it came over ehre much, was possibly in Supernational over there? A 5.7 engine is just standard size for a small block Chevy, so it was probably just a tuned one of those. Auto box and hand throttle I recall |

Definitely a small block as I remember. I think the only time I saw it over here was at the Brands GP about 1990/1991
