Peugot 207 THP Spider

Fully operational, recently refreshed with a host of upgrades and race ready with a basic spares package. This car  (Chassis 22) is one of two Spiders known to be in the UK and 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.

Stripped to a bare frame and completely rebuilt by UK Motorsport engineering / F1 specialists TDF and developed/updated for 2018 with new Shiftec paddle shift system, radiators, new wheel option, gearbox upgrade etc. at a cost of over £20,000. The car is extremely clean and tidy and has a huge amount of life remaining on the engine and the gearbox has just had a £4000 rebuild to 0KM spec.

Since being rebuilt the car has only competed in a few sprint races and covered around 200KM of track day use. 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. The car has an impressive race history with numerous wins and podiums and has been highly competitive throughout its life.

This is an incredible car and realistically the fastest Peugeot track car available for private ownership outside of the LMP and Group C cars. It has very reasonable running costs and is easily capable of being the fastest car on a track day or a competitive entry in various spring 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.

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 by many times. Outright lap times are hypercar quick with the car comfortably out lapping a 720S on Bedford Autodrome and the sheer pace at which the car covers ground is simply fantastic to experience. It is for all intense and purpose a baby Lemans Prototype and it feels it!

Chassis 22 is now being prepared for sale with fresh fluids and geo. Viewings are welcome at Bedford Autodrome.
