Anyone know anything about this car - R209 LUG - it's just come up for sale on Ebay ?

IIRC there was something about the new chassis, at the very least I'd be asking why it had one. Was it owned by someone who liked a bit of a race and did all his own servicing? Maybe in Yorkshire? It was up for sale for ages the last time. Someone will be along with all the information though

Ah interesting - thanks Ray. Yeah there's nothing about regular servicing in the advert either.......

Lots of info if you google it, including a youtube vid from when it has been advertised before and posts on here from when it was advertised for 30k.

Someone in the west yorks tvrcc might know more, I've got Keighley in mind for a previous owner for some reason.

Here's a thread when it was for sale

Hmm bit of a chequered past by all accounts.....

It was on the Car & Classic website for ages too if I remember correctly. There was a youtube video of it being driven too, it was 6 years ago!



A new V5c was issued on 28th May 2021. Could have been lost, but likely a private owner now.

Thanks Sixor - yes I've been scouring all the main websites for the last few months and it's the first time this one has appeared.

After looking at this video, it linked to this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E10HZQR1g2k - which I initially thought was the same car
(very similar reg plate).

HHC car .. interesting (well to me anyway) story on that car was it was a 4 litre in a nice spec, which went back to the factory to have a 5 litre engine fitted for the top gear piece. Not sure if it stayed a 5 litre then or went back to a 4 litre though.
