Very good condition throughout and has only done 10,345 miles

There is no reverse gear fitted. At 400kg I have found it very easy to push around.
Visit to view strongly recommended
Selling as I have recently bought a full-on racing single seater and two single seaters in the garage is proving difficult to justify (it wasn't planned very well!) Racing doesn't leave me very much spare time to cruise around on the road.
If you are inclined this would make a fabulous road-going hill climb/sprint or track car. I preferred to take the occasional run around the countryside or visit a car show.
May part ex for the right SEight!
