Description:

I am considering selling my track car, due to living and working abroad most of the time. Other than 2 test outings to Croft, I have not used the car since completing the build. I bought the car from ES Motorsport in Norwich, it was one of their Production Race Cars. The car was then stripped right back, rover engine/gearbox removed, all suspension arms etc removed painted and polybushed. I found a Honda Civic Type R EP3 Turbo build that was nearly complete and the guy was selling it due to financial reasons, so I bought that and used it as the donor car. The engine was removed and sent to Area Motorsport, where it was serviced and checked over. No expense was spared during the build, I’ll try and list the main work/spec below:
