Martin,

Will you be using the suspension that is on the car ??

A freind of mine is building a rover 200 rally car and would be very interested if they are for sale - he's also mentioned he may be interested in some of the other rally components that you may not be using.....

Let me know

Rob

It contains a 6.0-Litre EFi Ford SVO V8 Engine by Rousch Racing which develops circa 765bhp, has Carbon Fibre Intake Manifolds and drives through a Jerico 5-Speed Manual Gearbox. The car has a bespoke competition Fuel Delivery System with Weldan Fuel Pump. Steering is through a Flaming River Custom Rack and Pinion Steering Rack whilst stopping power is provided by Wildwood Front Discs, Currie 11" Rear Drums and Two Parachutes! The car rolls on 15" Taylor Made Wheels with 'Moon Disc' Covers which are shod with Goodyear Eagle Land Speed Tyres. Other modifications include revised Floorpan, Full SCTA/BN1 Specification Welded Steel Roll Cage, Three Flame Out Plumbed in Fire Suppression Systems and Custom Sub-
Frames with Morrison Cross-Members, Struts & A-Arms

Ideal for the school run
