A vintage Birel kart, restored as a replica of that driven by former F1 driver Ricardo Patrese, has been stolen from JK Tuning in South Australia.
Taken was this 1974 Birel Estoril (chassis #500T3) fitted with a 1972 Komet K99 (engine #3062).
The break-in happened at 5:10am Wednesday from JK’s premises at 615 North East Road, Gilles Plains (Adelaide).
