1992 Van Diemen RF92 Formula Ford 1600

Serial Number: RF92-016 Gearbox Number: LD-748 Logbooks: Condition: very good Price: £7,500 (approx. $12,000 U.S.) Location: Midlands, England
Description The last of the Kent 1600 chassis, the RF92 is not highly prized in England now due to the switch to the Zetec powerplants. This car should, however, find a ready buyer in the U.S. or Canada. This model won the pole at the Runoffs last year and is favored as a Swift beater. All of the 90s Van Diemens are in demand for the Canadian Pro 1600 series.
