Hi all
After a 6 month hiatus, we are finally completing the last details.
The rolling road is booked for 4th September to dial engine and gearbox electronics.
There should just be enough time for shake down tests before wrapping her up for winter.
Oh and the odd test day of course....
Rolling road output, shake down and test day data will be shared with photographs for those still interested.
Thank you

I'd be interested in attending any test days, where possible. Would love to hear it in the flesh/get some shots.

Looking forward to the upload of the engine note.

Thanks,
Scott

This wouldn't be the Tampolli entered for the 24 hrs would it?

Great looking job. What would be interesting for everyone, but me in particular, would be a spec sheet giving engine and gearbox specs and brake size etc. and although labour was down to you what kind of budget did you manage to bring her together for? Always useful to others looking at projects.

I will provide a detailed specification sheet in due course.
In summary however the car is a 2001 Tampolli SR2/LMP675, chassis number 6.
It was never crashed during its use 2001 - 2005, from where it stood idle.
In June 2010 a full nut and bolt, ground up rebuild was started, as seen in this thread.
It has taken 26 months in total and is now 100% complete and in mint condition.
As a budget you would need to allocate between £125K and £150K for this standard of build.
Hope that helps, full technical spec and test results to follow.

And finally the rolling road...

We spent a long time researching rolling road facilities, and the knowledge and experience of the facility owners. We were looking for particular skill sets. I.e. not just in depth knowledge of the Nissan V6 in conjunction with DTA electronics but also integration with Geartronics.

Two days were spent on the rolling road. Very worth while days we were very pleased with the knowledge of the combined group of people on hand, well worth the search.

Below are a couple of stills from the testing, we did take some video of which we will upload shortly, once vetted.

Hi, all.

I am looking for some direction.

This vehicle may be sold to make way for another project.
As the vehicle is quite specialist I am wondering the best places to seek a likely buyer.
Obviously it will enter in the PH classifieds, but I wonder if there are better market places for such vehicles, maybe the Britcar, OSS, V de V forums or other specialist locations in the UK, Europe or further afield.

Not urgent, but I thought I would ask for opinions.

As an update;
The car will likely be running in some test days over the coming months.


All the best

Could try Race Cars Direct. Or advertise direct with Britcar.
