Mechanically the car is in excellent condition with limited use since a full powertrain refubishment including the new engine.

The paint and bodywork are in reasonably good order, but please keep in mind this is race car rather than a show car.

A huge amount of development and hard work has gone into this car over the last 10 years, resulting in many fantastic results, enormous amounts of fun and many good memories.

Unfortunately, a new project forces sale and it is with great regret our Cossie needs to find a new home.

If you are looking for a very fast, exciting, challenging and rewarding race or track car, then you may find this an interesting opportunity.
