SOLD - Yamaha R1 Powered Locost.

SOLD.

Yamaha R1 powered Lotus 7 Replica based on the Ron Champion Chassis, which has been modified to accept Ford Sierra components.

The Car has been built with the wide track GTS suspension setup using sierra uprights at the front, and a GTS De-Dion tube setup at the rear combined with a Sierra 3.38 Diff.

The Chassis also has a narrower tunnel as it has been built specifically for a Bike Engine installation. This means that there is plenty of cockpit room with a 440mm seat base and a very wide pedal area. This gives a very roomy cockpit even for larger drivers like myself.

Built with mostly new parts, and only minor parts refurbished to as new condition.

- Protech Fully Adjustable Shocks, with 175lbs spings all round.
- OBP Balance Bar Pedal Box with Twin Master Cylinders and Top Hung Accelerator.

Bodywork and Interior:

- Professional Paintwork in Ferrari Gallow Fly Yellow and Nero Black.
- Genuine Mountney Leather Steering Wheel and Boss.

Other Information:

Newly built SVAd and Registered in March 2008. The car is very reliable, and has just
returned from a trip to the Le Mans Classic which is a 750 mile round trip, with no problems.
This car is seriously fast, and with the R1 Engine gives incredible performance at an estimated
300bhp per ton.

The reason im selling is to make space and fund my next project. You will not be dissapointed
with this car, its probably the cheapest way to get into a very fast car and would be ideal for
someone looking to do track days or just use as fast weekend fun.

£6500
