No rear valence, bonnet is a skin only as is the boot.
Last time on the rollers it did 88 atw, after being stood unused for 5 yrs. did 200 miles then parked it up where its been sat for the last 6 yrs.
Not a spot of rust or rot anywhere. Battery is fubared, biva is apparently needed, so i have just recently sold it back to the previous owner.
The car was built and raced by Mike at MBE in Lincoln.
He lent the car to a fellow racer who won the Saftey Devices Tarmac championship in it. But not sure what year.
Regretting selling it already, but makes sense as if i replace it i can do so with something with 4 seats and better fuel consumption.
Before the car goes (few months yet) i will get some decent pics taken and do a thread to show all the things mike did when he built it.
