Description:


This car underwent a 1500 hour concours restoration at Tracktech Enterprises Inc. Over $ 100,000 was spent. While there are some modifications, the car is historically correct with its 1800 cc engine which was available from Trojan. It was built in 1963 by Trojan on a Mk 2 Chassis and Coupe Body. Delivered 1964 as a road car in England. Shipped to the USA in the 1980s and forgotten. Traveled to Canada by an owner who planned restoration. First track outing in 2004. About 30 event participations since with not a singe DNF. Add fuel and race - thanks to the maintenance of the highest restoration standards. Safe thanks to full cage with side impact bar. Good top speed due to good Aerodynamics. Weight distribution within 2 kg even on all 4 wheels. Neutral Handling. Paint no longer perfect but better than most race cars. Engine bay and chassis meticulously maintained. Can be road legal with just hooking up headlights and indicators. Would make a great Rally car with slight suspension adjustment.
