Stuart-Taylor Locoblade

A lot of time has been spent on the build of this car to ensure its reliability on both road and track. We intended to enter competitive sprints/hill-climbs (hence the numbers, which are removable) and attended a few introductory days with the car, but a change of circumstances sadly means that we won't now be able to use it as intended.

If you need any reassurace as to the quality of this car or the way in which it has been looked-after then please contact Andy Bates (www.abperformance.co.uk), as he will vouch for it - you won't find better for the money!
