Description:

 

The JW4 is thrilling to drive, and eligible for Hillclimb up to 600cc, Sprint events, historic, HSCC Formula, Formula 4,  Junior (Class G7) and 500 Formula 3 circuit racing offering potential buyers a very affordable entry into Motorsport or to enjoy in a private collection. I raced the car several years ago at Hillclimb and Sprint events in the UK, and we also took her to a few track days with friends, and by far it was the most exhilarating single seater to drive, drifting and powering out of the bends, the car responds well and power to weight ratio is high! Reluctantly letting her go due to bereavement. 

This particular 1966 JW4 has quite a comprehensive history of past owners and competition over the last 50 years and is probably one of the most complete histories of all the surviving JW4's of which more detail can be provided on request.

Having been restored to current safety standards, it would originally have been fitted with a 250cc Villiers engine but is currently fitted with a 500cc single cylinder GM speedway engine and a Norton gearbox. If interested in Historic competition the engine could be easily changed to comply.
