PEUGEOT 309GTi Race, Rally or Hillclimb Car

RACMSA Vehicle Passport and the Registration document is also available 

This car was originally professionally built and prepared by Mills Garage in Duns, who were involved with the late Richard Burns. The engine was originally built by Shenpar who were well known for

 their Peugeot engines. The car was then bought and collected direct from Mills Garage by the famous Grand Prix motor bike collector Chris Wilson, and competed in various disciplines including rallying with some success against much more powerful cars. I acquired the car in 2018 and used it for Hillclimbs and Trackdays, the previous owner had used it for Rallycross events and was apparently quite successful at LydenHill The car would also be eligible for hot hatch championships

Fully baffled sump, and competition spec big end and main bearings. Full Mocal oil cooler set up. The head is fully ported, polished with oversized valves and full completion spec Piper cam.
