Description:

I have for sale my immaculate Van Diemen RF89 Formula Ford 1600 race car.

The car was originally owned and raced in 1989 by ex BAR & Honda Formula One test driver Patrick Lemaire for Graff Racing in France.  

This car had a complete rebuild to make it into a brand new car (it has done 5 races since) The chassis was stripped, blasted and checked before re powdercoating and a new ali floor by URS. 

It is 20kg under the weight limit (needs ballast to be legal) and comes with a strong fresh Bold engine. This car is now better than when it came out of the factory.

Every part is new on the car including the bellhousing.
It comes with adjustable Quantum dampers, GPS AIM datalogger and Staubli quick connectors on the brake and clutch hoses for fast engine changes. It wants for nothing, and has everything it needs for fast, relaiable racing. 

It is the perfect car for the UNITED, Heros of Formula Ford,  French FF, Northern Super Classic Championship, Champion of Brands, Castle Combe FF1600 as well as the end of season Formula Ford Festival and Walter hays Trophy. 

Plus there are many events accorss Europe where it would be a front running car at tracks such as Spa, Le Mans, Dijon, Paul Ricard etc.
