I have probably missed some details so please feel free to ask any sensible questions.

This car is perfect for the CSCC Magnificent 7’s race series, being fully rebuilt with a new chassis at the start of 2019 and now just having had a no expense spared fortune spent on it with a total refresh, rebuild or replacment with new of all major componets at ~£15K !

It has only had dyno time since and therefore offers a superbly reliable and extremely competitive car for 2020 and beyond.

I had a massive amount of fun and several class wins with in during 2019 and the only reason for sale is that I am going back to racing a bike engine powered Caterham for this year.

If you wanted this car built new professionally then it would cost ~£70K !!
