Locost Race Car Wanted
TMC - 26/7/11 at 10:18 AM

Hi all,

We are looking for a race-ready car for a customer who would like to join the championship.
I know Andy Pointer and Ed Pither have advertised cars in the past, so if these or any others are available please could the relevant people get in touch!

Many thanks,
Matt

I assume that you've seen:
This, this and this?

Hi

They are a bit thin on the ground at the moment due to high demand for the championship. We will have one maybe two up for grabs at the end of the season depending on what plans are made for next year. But they will be in high demand also. All good for the championship though proving there is no shortage of drivers trying to get in.

Cheers Matt

I have Paul Presgraves old car for sale minus engine.
Decided to take on the challange to build from ground up after buying as a complete package with lots of spares.
The car will be minus engine though...

If any want a front running locost race car I have Paul Bryants old no 11 car for sale.

This is the old no. 11 car from 2011, ex Paul Bryant who raced it till Donington 2011.

This car has had Podiums finishes a regular top 10 finisher, and had a lap record for a short time.

The car is ready to race for the 2012, there are a couple of little things that could be done for 2012, like remove the head lights (a very silly rule I think that is) as the rules have changes. The car is very light, uses the GT gear box, 4.11 gears, well sorted, has a modified front suspension that fails before any chassis damage or will take standard Stewart Taylor / Aries Wish bones.

The car was set up for Paul who is 6’ 2” tall and is now set up for someone 5’ 6” tall.

When I raced it I had approx. 20Kg of ballast and still struggled to get to the limit.

It had a “Caged” light weight cage, quick release steering wheel, Procomp exhaust etc etc.

Note Kirkey seat not included.

If you want a good well proven car, this is one to buy, just get in and race it.

House move forces sale and having far too much stuff.

£4450 ono

Hi Supergoose...

Have a think about my car as it's complete and ready to go, for a podium finishing car.

But consider when buying a car without engine, a good race engine is not cheap, and put on top of that, a new / rebuild carb and a dizzy that just adds up, even if the exhaust is missing that a good £350...

But I might be biased as trying to sell mine.
