History
The car was SVA’d when built was completed in 2001, and registered on a 1975 age related plate as a consequence of having demonstrable provenance to a donor Ford Escort.
The car remains road and it tax and MOT’d.
Tax is free due to historic status.
It has done somewhere around 4,000 miles in total.
The car has been sprinted and hill climbed and is believed fully legal for RAC MSA approved circuit racing and speed events in UK.
The car will do a 2:14 round Snett 300 on knackered old Kumho V700's with me pedalling it. Deffo a sub 2:08 car in the right hands.
