2009 BROOKE COSWORTH DOUBLE R

KEY FACTS

• A thrilling lightweight sports car, with exceptionally low mileage and just one owner from new.
• It is powered by a 400bhp supercharged 2.3-litre Cosworth/Duratec inline-four, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission.
• Weighing only 510kg, it can hit 60mph from a standstill in less than 3 seconds, and 100mph in just 6.5 seconds.
• The first and only keeper reports that it was kept in a storage bubble from new.
• Benefiting from a recent service, it is now presented in very good order throughout.
• One of only 15 Double R cars made, and the only one built with a polished aluminium body (standard cars were fibreglass).

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The Brooke has a tubular spaceframe chassis, with every tube cut on a CNC laser, giving a perfect finish to every joint.
• There is a composite seating tub bonded on, and this car is finished with a custom-built polished aluminium body. The unique bodywork was a £15,000 option over the standard car, and was the only Double R delivered with this body.
• With its 400bhp supercharged engine, it boasts outright pace on par with most of the latest supercars and superbikes.
• It has a fixed seating position with adjustable CNC machined pedals, with capacity for drivers up to around 6’4”.
• Equipped with 15-inch Team Dynamics Motorsport wheels, these are shod in Toyo tyres and house AP Racing brakes.

CONDITION

• No bodywork damage.
• Its polished aluminium body is in good order, though has some light marks on the panels as you would expect from a bare-metal finish.
• The black bucket seats have some small scratches and scuffs from entering/exiting the car.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 16 June 2021 at 1,355 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories or defects.
• A new racing battery was fitted as part of June 2020 service.
• A lubrication service was performed in June 2021.

SUMMARY

This Brooke Double R is a sensational no-frills two-seater sports car, in top-of-the-range 400bhp guise, giving it a remarkable power-to-weight ratio and formidable performance. Not for the shy and retiring, it is guaranteed to be the centre of attention wherever it goes, though it has a surprisingly compliant driving experience. Benefiting from single ownership, secure indoor storage when not in use, and a recent service, it is now ready to be thoroughly enjoyed by another owner on twisty B-roads or weekend track days.
