Many thousands have been spent building and prepping this car. If you ever had the desire to vintage race this is the ideal car to get started in, for a fraction of what it would cost to build.
This car has been raced in SVRA and VDCA races - its last owner drove this car in autocross and hill climb events with the intention of vintage racing. His health has prevented him from continuing his racing hobby so he has commissioned us to consign this car for him.
