For Sale: Warner R4 - One-off mid engined BEC
cloudy - 19/8/13 at 10:43 AM

It's a road legal scratch built mid engined BEC, registered after SVA in 2009 - and has just been through MOT valid till 08/14.
I would far rather it goes to an enthusiast here, so am looking for offers around £12,500 before putting it up on ebay/PH etc - if there is any
interest, please feel free to get in touch via U2U and we can discuss further

weekend...

Did you ever get this to the point that it was ready for production at all?
cloudy - 19/8/13 at 11:41 AM
Alas no, I am working on a car that will hopefully go into production, but it's in no way similar to this one!

Always loved this car 
I'd happily buy it too if finances allowed

Looking at the photos, there is no angle that I don't like the look of.
Good luck with the sale.

If you can afford to not put this into production your new car must be something very special.
Good luck with the sale!

that's stunning...... so modern/different looking... and future proofed too with the ability to take these taller modern 1000cc engines in the
back.
good luck with the sale, I'd happily have that in the garage !!
