Description:

I have made the tough decision to part with my 'As New' MG Midget Spaceframe Race car, this car was commissioned by myself in 2018 and completed in 2020 by race winning Chassis builder and Designer Mike Johnston of Dromore, Co.Down.

The car, due to Covid Restrictions and Family responsibilities has only competed in 2 Events from new, in these two events the car managed to set a new GT Lap Record and Overall Win.

It is an extremely Capable car weighing only 485kg, Powered by a 2 Litre Opel XE Engine producing 270hp built by renouned Engine Builder Kevin Gallagher of KGP Motorsport in Rathmullan - The engine has seen a Max of 3hours use from its build in early 2020.

The Car is managed by DTA S100 System - controlling Flatshift, Lauch control & Tracton Control - Paddle Shift Functions are available in the Loom and can be easily installed and managed by the DTA unit.

The car uses an Elite IL200 5S Extended gearbox, this is Elite Transmissions Stronger version of the IL200 box and it has been faultless in my use.

I will regret this sale but due to various genuine reasons the car is unlikely to see the track for a while and therefore i have decided to offer it for sale.

It can be used in many races series such as CNC Heads Sportscars / Saloon Championship, Youngtimers & CSCC Modsports and Special Saloons where a similar car has dominated the series for years at the hands of Andrew and Chris Southcott.

The price is now reduced to £39,500 - any perspective buyer is welcome to view my Spreadsheets and Reciepts for the build totalling to £52k+

The Car is ready to Race - wheels complete with Fresh Avon Slicks and Wets

Also available is a Brian James RS3 Race Shuttle - this can come with the car by separate negotiation

The Car is located in Belfast, N.Ireland - i am happy to assist with shipping worldwide

I am also open to discussions about splitting the car and various combinations should an interested party be interested in installing their own engine etc.
