Description
This advert is for my C20LET powered Dax Rush which has been in my ownership for 11 years. The car has evolved over time into what is now a properly engineered and extremely fast vehicle in genuinely outstanding condition. The engine originated from a Vauxhall Calibra 4x4 Turbo and has been heavily tuned and now runs in rear wheel drive configuration. Engine power levels can be switched between low and high boost settings and the rest of the car has been modified to ensure that it can cope with the power and also stop just as fast if needed.
The car was built in the 1990's and is registered as January 1981 on the log book (due to inheriting the donor car details as you could do back then) It therefore falls into the historic tax class, so UK road tax is zero. Insurance is also fairly cheap with everything declared too. A renewed MOT can also be progressed prior to sale.
It comes with a large stack of paperwork, history, user guides, wiring diagrams and manuals. Has two keys and a battery cut off switch and also some spare service items. Mileage in ad is what is on the instrument, not what the car has covered due to the upgraded STACK dash clocks.
This is a unique opportunity for someone to obtain a really superb car, you realistically couldn’t build this car for anywhere near the asking price. Happy to discuss all the associated details along with the cars history with any perspective new owner.
A reluctant sale, and genuine inquiries only please.
