An impending move means I need to sell my Locoblade race car and trailer… The car is a Stuart Taylor (chassis no 52) with a carb’d 919cc Fireblade engine, and was used for many years in the 750 Motor Club RGB (RoadGoing Bike-engined) Series in Class C. I bought the car a year ago and have since spent lots of time transforming a tired race car into what she is now. I have plenty of representative laptimes if you are interested (please contact me). A Pistonheads link with pics will follow shortly. Spec:

• Stuart Taylor chassis with full FIA rollcage
• Weight is 480kgs ‘wet’ without driver – cornerweighted by Procomp
• New wings all round and nosecone over the winter
• 919cc Fireblade engine, rejetted, with TTS air filter. Oil/filter changed every 3hrs with Millers ZSS semi-synth, AB Performance shortened/baffled sump (essential on these). Silicon hoses. NGK iridium plugs
• Six-speed sequential gearbox with Quaife reverse box
• Front: Cortina uprights with M16 calipers, grooved discs and GreenStuff pads
• Rear: English non-LSD axle with Escort drums (shoes fitted last week)
• Fibreglass seat with 6pt TRS belts, in date to 2012
• Lifeline Zero 2000 fire extinguisher in date for servicing
• RMD steering wheel on Q/R boss, SPA electronic OIL P/WATER T gauge
• Adjustable brake bias
• AMB260DP transponder hardwired
• FIA rainlight
• Geometry and setup checked and adjusted by Procomp (data sheets available)
• AVO adjustable dampers, running 250lb front 150lb rear (shocks dyno’d and matched)
• New track rod ends and suspension balljoints
• New lights all round
• Wheels and tyres:

o 4x Capri Laser alloys, Michelin 16/53/13 slicks
o 4x Capri Laser alloys, Michelin 16/53/13 Formula Renault wets
o 4x Capri Laser alloys, Yokohama A032R 185/60/13 ‘S’ compound
o 2x Minilites with Yokohama A048R 185/60/14 ‘M’ compound
o 2x A048R 185/60/13 ‘M’ – one on a Laser alloy, one without
o 4x Yokohama A021R (wet) 185/70/13 partworn with no wheels

I also have a massive pile of spares including a (damaged repairable) nosecone, a passenger seat and out-of-date harness for trackdays, 8ltrs of oil, plugs, TREs and balljoints, fuel pump, ECU, coil, regulator/rectifier, lights, generator, wg stays etc that will be coming with the car. I will also throw in a car cover.

The car is absolutely race-ready with many scrutineering tickets to prove it, and has been 100% reliable. I have used it in the RAF Motorsports Association Race Challenge and Allcomers races, and the car was part of the class-winning team at last years Birkett Six-Hour Race at Silverstone.

The trailer is a Brian James Clubman 1600, 14ft by 6ft 1”, currently downplated to 1300kg gross as I have a new style licence (old plate included, 2 minute swap). The trailer was fully serviced and rewired last winter, and comes fitted with a low level tyre rack for 6 wheels and a storage box for jerrycans. I will throw in 3 ratchet straps and a clamp.

Serious buyers only please, no test pilots! Contact me to view or if you would like any further information; the car is located near Croft circuit in North Yorkshire. The car by itself would be £5000 and the trailer £1000 – I would sell both for £5800.

Pics etc now on Pistonheads:

Anyone interested? Would make a cracking trackday package or a very cheap way into BEC racing... I tow this lot (well, not all the wheels/tyres at once) behind a Skoda Octavia diesel with no issues at all

unfortunately I already have a stuart taylor car, but I would urge anybody who is looking for one to have a good look at this, £5800 with trailer and wheels etc etc is an absolute and ridiculous bargain.

Thanks NS Dev

It is, as you might gather, 'priced to sell'...

Bumpety bump!

Would you swap for a road registered MK?!

Failing that, anyone want to buy mine, so I can buy this!

Mike

Thanks for the kind comments

Guinness, if you could pass the message on amongst the NE7ERs I would be grateful.

I love the car but can't justify keeping it, what with selling the house and being posted (I'm military)...

Ditto above,
I'd love it , looks great value, but I like my bits where they are at the moment

Still up for sale - can be seen racing at Cadwell Park on September 13th...

BTTT, come have a look this weekend to see what it can do round a track if you're interested

Well, I've finally got around to writing a decent advert and taking some better pictures!

If you're interested, come down to Silverstone on 24 October where my team (RAFMSA Help For Heroes) will be attempting to win the event for the third year in a row

Best of luck with the sale - And with the Birkett

Laziness and not being on the forum for a couple of weeks have conspired against me... To all those that u2u'd, yes the car is still available and my contact details are the same as on the Pistonheads advert

(bump...)
