Just came across these old pics of the National Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh which looks like it was the first time I took my car there, which would be summer 2000.

First registered 1997, comprehensive nut and bolt rebuild over the last 18 months, stripped to the chassis (which was refurbed and painted), and built again from scratch with new components used where necessary. I've owned it for c. 2 years, with two owners prior to me. I've enjoyed the project but I'm looking to do a season of racing next year so this is now up for sale as I need the space (and the money!!) It has been built as a usable lightweight fast road and trackday car with loads of carbon (scuttle, bulkheads, interior panels, dash, tunnel and pedal box cover) and a lovely revvy 1600 Toyota 4AGE engine running on throttle bodies. Spec as follows: Drivetrain: 1600 Toyota 4AGE engine, winged sump, Jenvey throttle bodies, OMEX 500 programmable ecu Type 9 gearbox with ally bellhousing, Sierra LSD rear diff with 3.92 ratio Custom large stainless exhaust silencer (30" long, 6" dia, tested at 92dB @5000rpm) Mocal oil cooler Wheels and suspension: Lightweight Compomotive CXRs with Toyo ZZR semi slicks. Westfield 4-pot front brakes (rebranded Wilwoods I believe), braided brake lines Front anti-roll bar (not currently fitted) Adjustable Gaz shocks all round, with brand new alloy bodied ones just fitted on the rear New springs all round, cornerweighted and set up for 75kg driver Light weight race battery mounted low on the passenger side Interior: Composite bucket seats with carbon inlay on the headrest. Carbon fibre dash Carbon fibre tunnel top and sides Carbon fibre rear bulkhead Carbon fibre footwell bulkheads and tops Carbon fibre scuttle front Carbon fibre pedal box cover Mishimoto white PTFE weighted gearknob Race Technology Dash2 digital dash hooked up to a... Race Technology DL1 GPS datalogger that logs speed, accelerometer, engine parameters etc to CF card and also does predictive lap timing visible on the Dash2. Big oil pressure warning light USB socket on dash Body: Standard SEiW bodywork in British Racing Green gelcoat - showing a few marks commensurate with 27 years of use, but all fundamentally sound and looks great from 10 feet away! Fluoro yellow vinyl nosecone and body stripes (removable, but every schoolboy knows racing stripes add 50bhp so why would you?) RAC rollbar SoftBitsForSevens boot cover It's all been built with an eye for detail and light weight. The engine is a gem, revving to 8000rpm and with great induction noise through the throttle bodies. The geometry and shock set up is great for road, with a good degree of compliance, yet with a couple of clicks on the shocks it stiffens up nicely for track use. The large silencer means that pretty much all tracks in the UK should be accessible - it registered 92dB at 5000rpm at a Lydden Hill track day recently. The car is near Guildford, Surrey. Sure I'll have missed some things so let me know if you have any questions. £10995 OVNO - I'd consider a PX with cash either way for either a Caterham in race trim or something eligible for historic racing - Anglia 105e, Sprite/Midget, A35 etc.

It was a great days racing👍

I've had a notification that my subscription ends on the 24th, and as we sold our Westy late last year and doubt we will have another anytime soon, we've decided to let the sub slip. Over the seven-odd years, it's been a pleasure getting to know the people we have met on runs, and chat with folks on the forum - it's a cracking club that has a winning formula.

Aged like milk, but should come soon.
