Megajolt ignition with switchable maps.

Adjustable rose jointed front upper wishbones (Talon Motorsport) for optimal caster angle. This avoids the Indy's Achilles heel by providing proper steering self centring.

4 point harnesses. Comfortable leather seats, passenger seat backrest folds for luggage etc.

Serial to USB adaptor for megajolt will be included. A laptop for viewing and adjusting the megajolt ignition in real time will also be included with the sale if the car is sold at the right price. (yep this is for geeks, you certainly dont need this to drrive the car !)

Traditional styling. Prisoner colours (Lotus British racing Green with yellow nosecone), Smiths white dial instruments. Column stalk controls for indicators, lights and wipers for ease of road use. Wiring and mount ready for TomTom sat nav. Grey leather seats. Nosecone hinged at front for easy access. Interior light. Locking wheel nuts. Jack and wheelbrace. Removeable boot lid panel on Dzus fittings. Ford space saver spare wheel (not mounted to car). A file of pictures, receipts and useful information.

I have not rolling road tested the new engine but have done a few hundred miles now and it is significantly quicker than the previous, box standard, pinto. According to Snapper on the LCB forum these mild mods should put out a conservative 135+bhp which in something of this light weight gives remarkable acceleration.

It is currently running a 38/38 DGAV (3 litre Capri carb) and may deliver more with twin 45s or good bike carbs.

Beyond this more bhp could be released by fitting larger valves and some porting [ or you could always go for a modified Duratech or a V8 in the future ]

Caster, camber, toe in and corner ride heights were kidly checked and setup by IndyBird on the LCB forum.

A good useable road going 7 esque car with one of the best handling chassis that can be driven and enjoyed as it is for years - or a platform for further upgrades for someone who wants to start with a ready built MK Indy and put their own stamp on it.

The car is in Southend. Viewing is recommended but please only view and drive the car if you have a genuine intention to buy and have the funds available.

MOT is to May (I can put a full year's MOT on it if required). Tax is to June

Offers are always welcome though the nearer to the asking price the offer is the more seriously it will be taken.

I am active on the LCB and Haynes forums and am a member of the MK club.

Genuine reason for sale (I am not bored with it !)
