I'd love to keep this car, but I have to move out of the unit I'm keeping it in and could really so with the cash.
The car needs a little work; I'm being honest and open about it (as opposed to when I bought it!)
If it doesn't sell quickly, it'll be going on ebay.
About the car:
5pw R1 engine with USB power commander
Carbon Fibre seats
Carbon Fibre wind deflector
Quaife BEC diff with reverse
Seven style nose cone (I prefer this over the sci-fi style MNR ones personally)
Able to accododate larger people (6'6" ok!)
6 Point adjustable harnesses
Sparco removable locking Steering wheel
Unfrotunately I haven't got the details from the advert when I bought it last year, sure there's plenty I've missed.
If you're looking at this, guessing you've got an idea of what it is:
I chose the MNR because they've got a good reputation as a BEC and generally it was well made.
It's been great fun driving around Dales, but I haven't had the time to use it nearly enough to justify it - has only been started up this year to keep everything turning etc.
Apologies for the cramped pictures and the mess all around as currently trying to move a large unit in to a small upstairs one (edit, pics at the bottom as they aren't resized) - if I had the time, it wouldn't be being sold quickly and cheaply!
Work that needs doing
Clutch
The clutch is a bit snatchy so you need to pull away carefully - it's fine when you're driving. It has a Barnett clutch - a good thing.
I haven't had the side off, but I believe from the behaviour and my experience of bike clutches that it's a lock-up clutch. Good for clutch life, but makes it harder to keep slipping it. I have looked in to this a fair bit and it seems it needs some gentler springs in - possibly just half replacing.
Rough running
It's running a bit rough and back fires from #3 cylinder.
I have checked all valve clearances and they are fine. I have checked compression and that is conistent across the cylinders.
It did have a batch of old fuel in at some point (wrong jerry can used) and I think this is likely to have blocked up the injector a bit.
Speedo doesn't work
Should be an easy fix - think we just need to get the sensor a bit closer, but may need a new sensor.
I've just used a GPS with it. The gear indicator doesn't correctly display the gear - related to the speedo issue I presume.
A good clean
I really should have used a cover in the unit it's been stored on. A bit of t-cut would help in a couple of places
Mismatched mirrors
One mirror was damaged as can be seen in pictures, I have now replaced it, but stupidly just went for a 'race tech' mirror not realising there was difference - the one I replaced it with matches the middle mirror as it's squarer, but not the left hand side mirror. Perfectly functional, of course.
If this goes to ebay, it'll be getting a full MOT. Only thing that might be a question for MOT is rear tyres which are a bit low, otherwise confident it will pass. As it's 1 litre, of course the road tax is cheap.
Car is located in Kieghley, West Yorkshire; but I do have access to a Beaver tail, so can deliver easily if required.
I have never done it myself, but the car can legally be towed using an A-frame (it's light enough it doesn't need to be braked)- I have an A-Frame sitting here which I would consider including in a deal. I liked the idea of towing this behind my motorhome for a Scotland/Europe trip so looked in to the possibilities.
Not done any trackdays on it myself, though I did hope to - sure it'll be fun, but just not had the time unfortunately.
Happy to answer any questions. Of course viewings welcome etc.
