Sad Day Car for Sale
This is one of the hardest things i have ever had to do.
After many years saying i would never ever ever ever sell my car the day has come! :-(
so........
FOR SALE......my Thruxton GT200 Bodied Roadster IVA'd 2010.
SPEC
2010 Registered Haynes Roadster on age related G 1989 plate
Engine is a SAAB 2.0 Turbo a gt2560r roller bearing turbo, (good for 330BHP at full boost. I run it around 220bhp on low boost for normal days
out)
Full Megasquirt 3.0 Extra setup with SD data logging and Innovate LC-1 Wideband system running fully sequential ignition and injection and electronic
boost control
5 Speed GM R28 Gearbox with hydraulic clutch (excellent ratios and feels like silk compared to a ford type 9)
3.62 RTR Rebuilt Ford LSD with brand new driveshafts, cv joints and bearings (all new this year!)
Fully Adjustable independent suspension setup by BOSS Racing, Rose jointed where necessary with quick adjust camber. (camber caster and toe
adjustable front and camber and toe on rear) with matched GAZ dampers all round.
Wilwood 4pot breaks all round (front and rear) Braided flexibles and copper main lines.
KOSO Rx1N Digital Speedo System.
2.5inch turbo back rear exit exhaust system with PAG stainless/titanium silencer.
Fully Baffled 60L touring Fuel tank built to my design by Martin Keenan with integrated swirl pot and upper lower chamber.
PWR Barrel Charge Cooler System good for 350BHP.
50MM double thick race radiator with two 12inch fans controlled by ECU (same one as used in the turbo kits for a Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ )
20 row Race Spec Oil Cooler.
Team dynamics Jet Wheels with Toyo R1R tyres (rear new fronts 4-5mm ish) Also have a spare pair of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's for it for
track days. (spare wheels will be included if it goes for full asking price.)
Triton Wide Fiberglass seats with Sabelt harnesses and roll hoop. (I have a freshly upholstered pair of elise seats for it that cost me nearly 1K
which i will also include if the car goes for full asking price.)
For those that don't know me this is a very well Known car! I write for CKC Magazine and its whole build has been covered in the Magazine,
including the Saab Engine Upgrade. Thruxton Body conversion pending print (but all documented in anticipation).
The car is Mechanically Spot on its an absolute weapon and a pleasure to drive either at leisure pace or full out Blat Attack Mode. It has done more
European and UK tours than i can shake a stick at as well as most of the big car shows. This year it completed two tours one down to the black
Forrest in Germany and the other was a 5000 Mile trek from the uk, into france, belguim, netherlands, germany, denmark, sweeden, finishing in NORTH
NORWAY and back to the UK again! Both trips completed without any problems or break downs.
Now for the bad bits.
The interior is what i would describe at best as utilitarian, others would say unfinishedI It needs a new dash and carpeting out, plus the under dash
wiring tidying up a little. its perfectly functional but just not beautiful.
The body Gel Coat is nice and shiny but i haven't got round to removing the mould flash lines on the rear of the tub yet (i will try and do this
before sale if not i will include the tools to do it including the electric polisher). I was intending to fully paint the car metallic blue which is
why i never removed the flash lines but that's not going to happen now.
The black band that goes over the bonnet for the tour stickers is not the best paint finish (the paint reacted and i havent had time to redo it) it
doesnt look awful but its not perfect and in an ideal world it needs rubbing down again and a fresh coat of paint
The rear boot section is not yet fully boxed in. So things in the boot get wet!
The bonnet could do with quick release locks and lifters fitting but its so reliable its not really bothered me.
One of the mirror bases is slightly damaged but has been repaired with plastic metal.
This car is my PRIDE & JOY it has been loved pampered and garaged its whole life. It has a few cosmetic minor flaws as mentioned above but it
also has a monster specification! Due to its Specification, uniqueness and Provenance with CKC I am asking for £7000. For that the car will come
with everything listed above and boxes of spares that i have built up and stored over the years. Located in Rochester Kent, Test drives will only be
permitted with fully Comp insurance, or full purchase price cash in my pocket on account of how fast it is.
Anything With Tits or Wheels Will cost you MONEY!!

That looks "priced to sell". A lot of motor for the money.

First time I have seen one of these, I love it !! Pity I have a bath tub in the garage in bits as this really hits the spot and a good choice of
engine.

It sickens me to see how cheap some of these cars are being sold for.
That is a bloomin good buy for someone.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Would love one of these myself but very few around.
Emailed the manufacturer a while ago with a few questions but they didn't bother to get back to me which has put me off a bit.
