Not for me, a friend who has a racing Sunbeam Tiger V8 wants a little project.

Hugh might be worth a call though as you say... would that be dave masons car?

The David Mason No 2 car is on the market. This is a very quick car and in Davids hands an outright winner. I ran with David both at CDL and with Mason Motor Sport so I know the car well. The price would need to be right as this is not an unrestored basket case.

has it been refurbed then Hui? i KNOW Sam was looking at that one and went with another. Is that car still in original condition? Shocks, brakes, P1 etc?
I did speak to Nick about it in 2007.

What about the TVR Mads Chevy one? Looks like its had a fair bit of development to get 50/50 weight distribution and a reliable chevy engine in it so it has the potential to be very quick. It would need a bit of work to get it on the race track though from what I can see, and some fibreglassing to smooth off that awful boxy hood scoop so might be a project? Or is your friend looking for a proper shed to renovate?

Hi Guillotine. The car was being repainted for Sam and that has been completed. The car is otherwise exactly as David Mason ran it with engine gearbox etc and is on the button according to Nick. You will recall David won at Snetterton last time he brought it out in 2007 I think. Hui

Hi Hugh, I never even went to see this car, I tried several times but nick was always busy, after getting to the bottom line price wise with him I decided the blue car was a better car for me, no deals were done and I still do not know why on earth the man went and had the car painted.....

Had a look at this one, as its a road car its heavy, crash protection at the rear for the fuel cage etc, but its a nice car, perhaps too nice to be returned to a race car.

Thats what I thought Phil,

Alot of expensive work would need to be undone to race...which would be a shame.

i went round s/stone in it, and though the power was there, the delivery was slow, not like a race car. I think the de-tuning had taken alot of the punch out of it. more cash to retweak, but a nice track car.

Hi guys, a few of you will know me, I am David's brother Elliot.
Just to let you all know, the car is still for sale, stripped and rebuilt and ready to race in exactly the same spec to when it last won at snetterton. It has been sprayed and all body work tidied up on the inside too, but this was just to bring it back to its proper self.
Any Questions, just ask.
Regards,
Elliot

Modified Racing Chim..
Metaphorically , that's right up my street.
Geographically , it's about 10 thousand miles away.

Whenever i want a car ,there's always a bloody catch.

Plenty of cars get shipped the other way - you'd want to budget around £1500 to get it there from here.
