The TOJ SC304 was a 3.0-litre prototype racing car developed in 1975–76 by Jörg Obermoser's German racing team, designed by ex-Porsche engineers and powered by a Cosworth DFV V8 mated to a Hewland FG400 gearbox. This particular example was the first SC304 to run the Cosworth engine, debuting in the World Endurance Championship at the Dijon 500 Kilometres. It took a victory at Mainz-Finthen in October 1976 in the distinctive Warsteiner gold livery before passing through several owners and eventually being refurbished by Foxcraft Racing prior to 2013.
