When I bought this car it was a non runner, it was in the process of being updated with a Brand New computer to run the connections of the previous EFI system, this has still to be fitted, so the car is as I bought it, it's a non runner….if EFI is not your preference then …
the original PI system is included….The Great Basics are all there, but the whole car needs a complete recommissioning….it’s a project.
This car is not a "show-pony’…it’s Purpose is Motor Sport…

I always intended to get this car running for some fun motor sport, however life had other plans, NOW health issues prompt a sale.
I’m now looking to find someone to take up my stalled project…
Please see more pictures in the gallery (click Read more.... to lower right side).
I took the last 2 pictures of Charles in action, when the car came up for sale I just had to buy it….
NOW it’s someone's opportunity to take up the dream….the Motor Sport Experience..
Asking $5000….all offers considered…all the Best with your new project.
The cars running gear and parts alone are worth a lot more than my asking price, in Charles’ words, when I bought it from him,
"you’d need $15 to $20K to replicate this car".…who knows how much today.. many more $$$’s ….so do your sum$.
