1975 Nomad Mk2 – Clubmans Race Car
I am selling a 1300 Clubmans race car, which was built in 1975 and won the 1300 Championship in 1976, driven by Phillip Lloyd. I have had the car for a couple of years and have been intending to set it up and complete the last elements of the restoration so that I could race it in the Classic Clubmans Championship (- details above) and do some hillclimbs/ sprints, but due to other historic cars taking up most of my free time I have not had a chance to complete the work and get the Nomad race ready. It is therefore up for sale as a restored car that just needs completing and setting up, and should be an easy project to complete for the 2010 racing season, with it certainly being one of the most cost-effective and fun ways of going racing (especially since it is lighter than a Mallock!).

- Two sets of Revolution wheels and tires, slicks and wets. Some of the original bodywork is included (still painted the original colour of green), a few spares including two long half shafts, some steering column bits, a pair of spring damper units…
Overall it is a great little car, which I am sad not to have been able to get out on a circuit. I have driven it on a private road before where I was shocked at how fast it was (especially considering there were hedges either side and the road was slightly damp!) Once set up I think it would make a super entrant into the Classic Clubmans Championship, which is running a full calendar of 8 races in 2010, or a competitive hillblimb/ sprint or indeed track day car. It comes with a history file, which has copies of the original articles about the championship and the Nomad’s success in the 70s, correspondence between the previous owner and Phillip Lloyd who originally built the car, some photos documenting the cars restoration, the original plans for the car, and some period photos of the Nomad racing.
The car can be viewed in Gloucestershire.
