My New Mk1 Racer
Hi all
Iam trying to get some pictures or information on this cars racing history, the car it self has been laid up for 10 years and it was last used in the heritage series by a well known engine builder from kent .
the car is in remarkable condition considering its not turned a wheel for 10 years .
Does anyone have any pics of it racing ?.
Regards.

Pandora ,
It does not have an engine, iam led to believe it had a big 1400 long stroke unit in it when it was last used, i have several engines to choose from but i just reqiure a s/cut or a dog box complete so anyone wanting to part with a decent gearbox please drop me a line .
I will probably run the mini to start with in the North West saloon championship and then see where we go from there,the car has got some very nice kit on it IE kad rear radious arms and roll bar/alloy tank etc, so it has turned out to be a nice find.
I was getting serous racing withdrawl symtoms since i sold my grey racer.
