Bad bits
Bodywork is showing its age and I never renewed the (now chipped and grazed) bonnet after it flew off many years ago and took an excursion along the A435 south of B’ham. There are also a couple of cracks in the tub just before the wheel arches.

General
Car started life with roof, doors and and chrome gear and i have slowly changed it with an aim to enjoying more track days as opposed to simply touring. It has taught me plenty of the basics and I am now looking to replace it with a more focussed track car.
For the avoidance of doubt, the car has been used in the wet. After driving home in what became a half filled bathtub, I ditched the carpets and drilled some holes in the floor. Since then, it has been on and survived the infamous RAF Cottesmore wet track day.

I am based near J2 of the M5 (oldbury) but the car travels to Lincolnshire for my Dad to use on occasion.

Plenty of photos and receipts to be viewed so please pm me for more details.

Looking for £4k or would offer as part ex against a more track orientated car.

I also have a BJ trailer which could be negotiated in the sale (but my preference is to keep this for the next car) or used to assist with delivery.

 

Edited for price and general info

Please could some generous soul assist me with posting the photos as my firewall seems to block access to the various hosting sites.

Would be much appreciated

I love the look of swept wings. Always wondered how they would look with aeroscreen and micro headlights - it's the definition of sleekness.

Hi all - slight post resurrection.

 

I have just updated the sale advert as seeing a number of track focussed cars available that interest me and general advice seems to be to buy a car that suits your needs rather than spend a lot of money on upgrades.

 

I will upload a video of it in action at Silverstone yesterday over the weekend hopefully.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Alistair
