Sylva Striker

As the subject says really....

The car has done 6,024 miles (and it may do a few more in the mean time) some of which have been on track days. I guess 6K is low mileage for an 18 year old car It has been driven and used so don’t expect a ‘perfect, as new’ car. If I hadn't started to build a new Striker I would be keeping it and still using it

The price is £5,200. It's tax'd until the end of August and the MOT is until the 10th of July.

Spec as follows;
Rebuilt with a new chassis and body work in the spring of 1996 by Fisher Sports Cars.

2lt Fiat twin cam with twin 40mm DCOE’s on a Guy Croft manifold. GC baffled 'big-wing' wet sump and GC remote oil take off. Engine rebuilt professionally in May 96 with new bearings, rings etc. Clutch, flywheel, crank and conrods fully balanced. Head gasket replaced in 2013 using new head bolts due to slight oil weep (precautionary change…didn't want to wait until it ‘went’).

Fast Road solid state fuel pump with external filter and regulator, mechanical pump removed and ‘blanked off’.

VW Polo radiator and 16 row oil cooler, is happy at full chat for track sessions with out overheating.

Fiat 131 Arbath 5 speed close ratio, short shift gearbox with the Arbath gear lever extension so the gear lever is in the correct position in the car. Quaife 3.89:1 ATB torque biasing LSD fitted by Quaife.

Rear drums upgraded to 9in spec (Escort RS2000 type) with fast road shoes, new cylinders fitted 2012. Front brakes upgraded to AP princess 4 pot calipers on vented disks with Mintex M1144 fast road pads. Colour matched Revolution alloys (6x13in) with Toyo R888 tyres.

All metalastic bushes replaced with new in 2012 by Fury Sports Cars. Rubber engine mounts replaced with new in 2012.

New, large, stainless steel silencer fitted in 2012 by Fury Sports Cars. Sound level measured at Brands Hatch in 2012 as 97db.

Yellow chassis with matching yellow dashboard. Carbon tunnel top made and fitted in 2013. Green body work with two piece bonnet. The rear wings do have ‘road rash’ which is to be expected on a Striker of this age. One of the front wings is cracked but has been like this for 10 years and is not getting any worse.

Full set of gauges, the speedo is a Spa Digital unit and very accurate and was fitted after the last MOT.

JK Composites seats with colour coordinated 5 piece upholstery set fitted in 2012. New ‘aircraft release’ style 3” harnesses fitted in 2013.

Full hood although it’s not been used for 10 years so is looking ‘aged’ but only ever used if parked outside overnight and shows no signs of cracking.

‘Q’ reg so very easy at MOT time with no emissions checks.



















A large amount of spares are also available by separate negotiation if wanted e.g. new black front wings, rear carbon wing protectors, Guy Croft workshop manual and DVD, most parts of three Fiat T/C engines such as blocks, heads (one ported), pistons, camshafts (one set of Abarth cams), Conrods, crank Etc.

What have I missed? Any questions etc PM me.
