SOLD IN 3 DAYS AFTER 8 ENQUIRIES.

Tiga SC79 Historic Sports 2000

Originally used on the East Coast of the USA in SCCA Racing as a 'spare' car. Brought back to the UK around 25 years ago, did one race and was then stored for about 13 years.

I bought the car, got it running and did one Sprint Meeting. After this the car was stripped to the bare tub and fully rebuilt over a winter.

The car was then only used for the occasional sprint. It did it's first race at Oulton Park in late 2011 and has only done a handful of sprints and 10 races since with much ongoing maintenance and no damage incurred. It only did 2 sprints last year.

The last 2 race outings for the car were at the Oulton Park Gold Cup Meeting with the HSCC running in the Martini Trophy. On both occasions it qualified fastest Sports 2000, set fastest lap and one class win.

I believe it is one of the oldest Tiga S2000 cars around and certainly one of the most original. Chassis number 84. Ready to go, it is eligible for many race series both in the UK and Eurpoe and can only go up in value.

Only selling due to retirement. More photos available on request.
