Hi Gents,
If any body is interested i went over yesterday to take a look at the ex Steve Roper racer.
Not often something interesting turns up on your doorstep.
The following content is just my unbiased opinion.
Its an extremely straight car for one that,s been raced, especially from the bulkhead back,
the front end needs a bit of a tidy, hard to see completely underneath due to being so low,
the holes formed for the side exit exhaust have been professionally formed and nicely rolled back,
compomotive alloys are in good condition,
the whole car looks solid, although there is some surface rust in places,
it as custom made coilovers up front, although they look a bit crude, not sure it would pass an mot with them and the side exit exhaust,
must have been like an oven in that cockpit!
was hard to make any sense of the engine set up, looked as though it was undergoing development then abandoned, there are a couple
of boxes of spare parts, front panel is missing and one of the front trofeo arches is not present, there are some spare fibre glass panels and other parts.
the perspex windows have obviously turned misty over time, front screen in good condition.
Generally a nice looking car, like all suds, as most of us have experienced, you never know what lies beneath
,
Back in the day, what would they have used for an lsd? looking at the lap times something would have been required to put the power down?
If any body is bidding and has any questions please don,t hesitate to ask.
Liam
