Description:

Royale RP27 Formula Ford 2000 – Ex Richard Dutton / Frank Sytner – Chassis 19

Year: 1980
Chassis: RP27-19
Category: Formula Ford 2000
Livery: Black & Yellow

Offered for sale is this beautiful and well documented Royale RP27, chassis number 19, built in 1980 and originally sold to Richard Dutton Racing. The car was raced in period by the legendary Frank Sytner in the highly competitive Formula Ford 2000 championship during the early 1980s.

History & Background

I purchased the car a few years ago with the intention of competing in the FF2000 championship, however a change in circumstances means the car has unfortunately not been used. Since then, it has been stored under cover in a warm, dry workshop.

The car was last raced approximately five years ago, where it ran without issue on its last outing. It remains in good overall condition and would take very little recommissioning to return it to competitive use in the right hands.

It is supplied with a good history file and a useful set-up file, making it an excellent candidate for historic racing, classic FF2000, or a collector looking for a genuine period chassis.

Condition

• Well-presented and straight chassis
• Lovely black and yellow livery
• Stored correctly in dry conditions
• Not used for several years, so light recommissioning recommended
• Previously reliable and competitive when last raced

Spares Package (Included)

The car comes with an extensive and valuable spares package, including:

• Clean Pinto engine block
• Cylinder head, crankshaft & various engine components
• Selection of suspension parts
• Springs & dampers
• Brake discs
• Wheel hubs
• Wets on rims
• Quick-lift jack
• New battery
• Nose cone mould
• Plus many additional parts and items

This spares package alone represents significant value and makes this an ideal turnkey ownership proposition.

Summary

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Royale RP27 with strong period history, and a comprehensive spares package. These cars are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially with known chassis numbers and documented history.

A lovely, iconic 1980s FF2000 car that would reward light recommissioning and be very competitive.

Serious enquiries welcome.
