Genuine reason for sale - After racing horses, motorcycles and cars for the last 60 years, unfortunately the time has come for me to hang my boots up because of age and disability problems.

Whilst I would like a much better price for this car which has cost me probably double the asking price, I am being more realistic. The car is perfect for a new owner to race at club level and I am so disappointed that I was not able to achieve my dream of racing one of these iconic era cars.

Priced to sell at £45k.
