Description:

This is a frame off restored, rebuilt vintage race car with many class wins over the years with VARA. This car is on the cover of Kas Kastner's latest book "Historical & Technical Guide for Triumph Cars". The car was freshly painted in British racing green with a red nose to replicate the Le Mans Spitfires. I have owned the car since 1997 and have all receipts and race records since that time. The car is ready to race and comes with to many spares to list.


History

This car was raced in SCCA Solo II competition in 1989 & 1990. The car was then converted to a vintage road race car and run with the Vintage Automobile Racing Association (VARA) since then. It has a current 2006 annual tech. sticker and log book.
