Test drive welcome. I have owned this car for 40 years and due to reaching my mid 80's I have decided not to renew my racing license. This car has always been my go to car as it's so basic and reliable compared with othe more complicated cars I have . Spares are readily available and the car is very short and easy to trailer and garage.
This car is perfect to start competing.
