Description
Car is currently leading the North Island Historic Formula Ford series and won last years. I have owned the car for two seasons, with only one electrical DNF. The car is in reasonable condition and excelent running condition but could really do with a paint job. It has one area on the right rear chassis which has been repared quite badly (by a previous owner.) This is sound but ugly. It has a new custum built dry sump tank, with full Goodridge braided lines. The seatbelts are six-month old Sabelts. I have manafactured a new seat and rear bodywork.
History
Car was bought into New Zealand from England in the early 1990's and raced in the historic series here since.
