Description:

Peugot 207 THP Spider

Fully operational and fully refreshed with a host of upgrades and ready to go with rolling pit toolbox and basic spares package. This car (Chassis #22) is one of a handful of Spiders left and possibly the only operational car in the UK. There are thought to be less than half a dozen Spiders still race ready in the world!

About Chassis 22.

In 2018 the car was stripped to a bare frame and completely rebuilt by UK Motorsport engineering / F1 specialists TDF and developed/updated with new Shiftec paddle shift system, radiators, new wheel option, gearbox upgrade etc. at a cost of over £20,000.

I purchased the car from TDF after that refresh in 2018 and enjoyed using it for track days. The car was fantastic as a training tool (as well as being immense fun with its instant gear shifts and great balance!) and really helped me make the transition from Caterhams etc to having some downforce. It was a terrific stepping stone, allowing me to build skills until I purchased a Radical SR8.

Following this and in preparation for sale the car has had a full programme of refresh including another gearbox rebuild, new clutch, fluids, shiftec rebuild, shiftec compressor and tank, updated fuel ecu, brand new oem wiring harness, starter motor, high pressure fuel pump and many other improvements including an improved fuel system with swirl pot, lift pump and main pump, simple fuelling with conventional fuel cap replacing the old setup which required use of special motorsport breathers and filler. Currently fitted with 35 litre tank ideal for track days but could easily be swapped for larger unit for endurance events.

The car It has done no wheel to wheel racing since it has been in the UK and is one of the very few of the original Spiders to have not been damaged during it's time in the THP Championship or at any other time. The car has an impressive race history with numerous wins and podiums and has been highly competitive throughout its life.

The car comes with a racing logbook (which obviously I've never used)

When I bought the car it had 2900KM total on engine - I estimate that I doubled that to around 6000km in total - around 10>15 track days at various mileages ran. Gearbox has 0KM obviously.

The car is extremely clean and tidy having also been repainted. It has not been used since this refresh work and is ready to go subject to your own spanner check and shake down.

This is an incredible car and one of the fastest Peugeot track car available for private ownership outside of the LMP or Group C cars. It has very reasonable running costs and is capable of being the fastest car on a track day or a competitive entry in various sprint and hillclimb championships, OSS Championship and a variety of European sprint and Endurance series. As one of a handful of remaining cars, one of even fewer fully operational cars and the best condition remaining car with a great history it also represents a fantastic investment.

I'd also comment that it's a lot less hassle than the Radical to run - being a simple car engine you just fill it with fuel and press the starter button and drive round until the tyres pop or you get tired!

To drive the car is mind blowing with an incredible amount of grip, a gearbox which changes gear in less than a tenth of a second via steering wheel mounted paddles and a power to weight ratio that eclipses any Peugeot road car!

The sheer pace at which the car covers ground is simply fantastic to experience. I've truly enjoyed my time with it but it's now massively in my way physically and it needs a new home!
