KEY FACTS

• A smart and well-maintained example of the competitive British racing car, featuring a recently rebuilt engine and supplied with a substantial spares package.

• The car is eligible for Ginetta Supercup, GT Cup, Britcar, Creventic Endurance and numerous other series.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The interior is in good condition, with some expected wear on the steering wheel and seat.
