This rust free example was a very successful vintage race car in the eighties and nineties. It has an SVRA logbook going back to the early eighties. It is equipped with a fire suppression system. fuel cell. adjustable suspension. dual Brooklands windscreens. Dunlop L race tires and Recaro seat. Over the years.

The engine turns fine and the brakes are functional so preparing it to be back on the track or street should be straightforward.

Personal or professional inspection of the car prior to bidding is welcomed and encouraged. Feel free to ask any questions and/or request any specific photos. The winning bidder will submit a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Full payment will be due in seven days. I can store the car inside for an additional thirty days at no extra cost.
