There are 3 sets of wheel accompanying the car. The wheels that are on the car at the moment (that are pictured above) are spilt rim revolutions. The car was also fitted with a new rear defuser.
The body work repaired, re gell coated and resprayed. When the car was finished it was sent back to Mallocks to have the suspension and geometry set up, an omex rev. limiter with launch control was also fitted.
The car is on the button and ready to race. It is set up for hill climbs and sprints but is eligible for the classic clubman’s series, with only minor modifications like set up and a larger fuel tank required. The car has cost approximately £30k and comes with a Brian James Galvernised trailer 2 additional sets of wheels, another fully rebuilt gear box (different ratios), a rebuilt diff (different ratio) and spare suspension etc.
The car has a fully documented and photographic record of its rebuild.
This is an awesome car offered at a fraction of the rebuild cost. For sale due to change of plans. Inspection welcome. |
