Mot Expiry: Exempt

This extremely attractive special was created in 1990 for the vendor to campaign in VSCC events with much of the work being carried out by David Fletcher Jones who sourced the body and fitted it to the shortened chassis whilst also attending to the engine. Bill Morris worked on the pre-selector gearbox. In 1997, in preparation for the 1998 season, the engine was overhauled by Piers Leigh and photographs and invoices for this are contained in the accompanying history file. At the end of the 1998 season, during which only a small number of races were contested, the car was put into storage where it has remained since. Responding well to a clean in preparation for sale, the vendor advises the engine is free having not been started for some time. Finished in green with green interior, this exciting special is offered with Swansea V5, RF60 buff logbook, assorted invoices, sundry correspondence and old VSCC eligibility form.
