For Sale - 1959 UK RHD Championship winning, show winning Race Car - UPDATED PRICE AND PICTURES

We no longer have time to finish off the car due to an impending additional house move, these photos were all taken today. It still looks great and all of the additional items at the bottom still come with the car, it really would not take much (weekends work) to get this car ready to race, or for the road. Due to this price is offers around £9500, or we can reduce the price by keeping some of the additional items that come with the car.

Take a look here for the full photo set as there are over 40 photos

The car is very nearly ready to race and is a complete roller minus gearbox and engine. The fuel system is all there as is the wiring. The second rebuild on parts alone cost us nearly £8000K.

Hi Steve/Adele, hope you are well?

I've admired this car many times. There are a few top cars available at the moment for what is a fraction of their build cost lately.

 Good luck with the sale, what's your plans for future, cars/racing?
