Description

ONE OF THE SUCCESSFUL DESIGNS OF THE FRENCH CONSTRUCTOR, THIS CAR FINISHED SECOND IN THE 1972 CHAMPIONSHIP, THE HIGHEST PLACED PRIVATEER TEAM.

HISTORIC RACE CAR LLC WENT THROUGH THE CAR COMPLETELY. THE SUSPENSION WAS CRACK TESTED. A REMOVABLE STEERING WHEEL WAS INSTALLED. THERE IS ONE FUEL CELL BLADDER ON LEFT OF THE DRIVER. THE RIGHT CELL WAS REPLACED BY A DUAL FIRE SYSTEM.

THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE CAR WEIGHS 460 KG OIL AND WATER INCLUDED. (PERIOD MINIMUM WAS 450 KG).

THIS NEW PRICE IS THE RESULT OF THE FINAL SETTLEMENT IN MY DIVORCE, AND IS NOT FURTHER NEGOTIABLE. I RATHER RACE THE CAR MY SELF THAN ACCEPTING LESS MONEY, SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED CONTACT ME HAVE A LOOK AT THE CAR AND DECIDE. THANKS.
