Nice

Shame about the stickers

Knew someone who worked as a chassis engineer at TWR when they designed this. It will probably have the steering knuckles on the rear struts that flex on heavy loads and impart some 'interesting' rear wheel steering just when you dont want it smile

Another car I should have bought when they were cheap enough.

Hi Gary,

I think we all have a long list of cars we should have bought and not sold ! lol

From speaking with the seller it would not be too big a process to remove them, as it is a wrap, as opposed to individual stickers.

On picture 166, is that a bill for body panels? If so, what happened there?

Additionally, what was the condition of the paintwork like before the wrap when on? Did they have to sand or fill any areas?

Cool car in any event, Cheers J.

Hi !

This is Dave from PistonHeads Auctions.

Clearly this car has been a long term LOVED PH CAR within the forums with lots of great interactions and interest to be had on this fabulous French pocket rocket. Digging through our archives I just thought I would share the previous comments and love this car received on the link below.

Good luck with your bidding

Best wishes
Dave

Hi MPOWER

Its Dave from PistonHeads just replying on the sellers behalf. The seller is unaware of the reason for the body panel as it predates his ownership of the car, equally with regards to the body condition prior to the wrap. He has said upon close inspection of the car everything presents extremely well indeed.

Best wishes
Dave

Body condition prior to the part wrap was immaculate.

Car also has a PH2 gearbox which has better ratios than the PH1 box.

The grey is the wrap and all decals are individual and applied over the wrap / paintwork.

Hope that helps.

The front D panel isn't an external body panel.

It's the front part of the inner wheel arch protector. When I got the car it has been partly worn away which Scott@SGM alluded to it probably having had incorrectly sized tyres fitted at some point.

It's RWD so engine sits over the driven wheels.

I had one of these and it was featured in the Long Termer's section of EVO for a while.
Handling was okish until you reached the limit at which point it was ‘challenging’. It wasn’t as fast as it looked - only a tad faster round one of Bedford Autodrome circuits than the Clio Trophy of that era but I loved it dearly. Another ‘wish I’d kept it’ car!
