Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 320 votes
This has been my pride and joy for 8 years . fully rebuild 3 years ago on a dipped and seam welded shell . It is light and stiff and handles well .
At my last meeting at Donnington it went over the weigh bridge at 745kgs with a full tank of fuel . I have too many other race car projects on the go which need my time to complete so now is the time for someone to take on this excellent little car and take it to its limits . I do have a trailer for it with all new tyres which I am happy to include in the sale along with a host of A series racing spares . I will list the spec in bullet points below :

1965 Mk11 A40 saloon

Full compiant with HRDC regulations

Dipped and seam welded shell ( detailed pics available of the rebuild upon viewing )

New wheels this year ( heat treated and de stressed )

Lowered rear springs

Heavy duty 500lb front springs

The paintwork was refreshed in June this year .

I was doing Mallory park this year in 59 seconds so its quick . I have had many class wins in this car and outright wins on occasion against stiff competition . years of development and finances have been pumped into this car . I will still be racing with the HRDC but will be in the All stars grid in a Healey . I can help with any contacts you may require to obtain parts in the future to keep this car at the front of the grid .

Any questions please call Matt on 07973 939766 . May consider classic car . muscle car or Defender in part ex change of much lesser value .

Sorry. Forgot to say that the Falcon is a road car - but has Quaiffe 5 speed box, detroit locker, fully adjustable suspension etc etc

Is your A40 still on the market?
Would you consider a supercharged 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint in part exchange? Straight swap.
