Powered with a sturdy and torquey Ford engine, there is reliability and ease of maintenance to allow this car to go from track to road and back again, time after time.

This G27 appears structurally very sound and has of recent undergone a proper service including the cam belt, a set of tyres, a fuel pump and newly MOT'd so she's definitely ready to hit the road…or track.

With some imperfections, you won't be scared to make the most of what this perky little motor can achieve though alternatively it is a prime candidate too for some refined TLC to make this crazy low mile, early example a bit of a head turner.
