Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 - Competition Cars on Friday the 22nd of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. This car has been professionally maintained and supported by DS Motorsport UK Ltd throughout 2023, 2024 and 2025, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. It features an ECU Master engine management system with a custom wiring loom, newly installed in December 2024. The system was professionally set up at Northampton Motorsport at a cost of £3, 174.
The engine specification includes Jenvey throttle bodies, Newman race cams and a lightened and balanced engine, paired with a lightened flywheel and 4-paddle clutch. Exhaust gases are handled by a Sportex exhaust system with a tubular manifold, contributing to both performance and sound.
Handling is enhanced with AVO coil-overs, a rear anti-roll bar kit, Powerflex Black Series bushes and a limited-slip differential. Braking is managed by Fiesta ST150 front brakes with Ferodo DS2500 pads, while the rear currently runs drum brakes for better balance. However, a rear disc conversion kit is included in the spares package.
Additional features include an Odyssey gel battery with cage, polycarbonate windows with sliders and a fully plumbed-in OMP fire extinguisher kit, serviced and valid through July 2025. Inside, the cockpit is equipped with a Sabelt GTS seat, mounting hardware and Sparco 6-point harnesses, all newly fitted in January 2025 at a cost of £1, 179 and certified through 2030.
Overall, this is a very well prepared and well sorted car, offering an excellent entry into club-level motorsport. It is eligible for two Classic Sports Car Club (CSCC) championships, along with a variety of other series depending on regulations. It would also be well suited for sprint and hill climb events.
