After 30 years of autocross (mostly with Super Sevens) and 10 years of vintage racing, I decided it is about time to stop racing, and so rather than let the cars sit, I am offering them for sale.

Frame-

• Excellent condition, very straight with no apparent serious accident repair. All suspension bobbins are round and true
• Steering mounts have been modified to allow bump steer adjustment.
• Oil lines in frame are not used.
• Water (coolant) lines in frame are in excellent condition and are being used.
• Radiator is water only. New radiator was built the same size as the original (which had an oil cooler in it). This has allowed the use of a larger capacity water radiator, which additionally is a much more efficient design than the original
• If an oil cooler is ever required it can be plumbed into the oil supply lines at the rear of the car in the same fashion the Lotus 61 was built. I do not think an oil cooler necessary with the larger water radiator and use of extra oil in the dry sump system.

Suspension

• A arms have been crack checked within the last year
• Rear suspension arms are in near perfect condition
• Front suspension arms have good plating but have some scratches
• All spherical bearings are new
• All suspension bolts are military specification (AN)
• Wheel bearings are new
• Cortina steel wheels (5 ½ X 13)
• Dunlop racing tires

Transmission

• Hewland MK6
• Fresh rebuild by Taylor race engineering
• Blueprinted gearbox with new bearings, seals, reverse gear, side plates and bellhousing
• New heavy duty rotoflex joints with fail safe centering device
• Axles have been crack checked

Engine

• Fresh rebuild (less than 3 hours) on uprated block. Good strong vintage engine
• SCAT forged crankshaft
• Tilton single plate clutch
• Scholar dry sump pump
• All oil lines are braided Stainless Steel (aeroquip)
• New Weber carburetor, modified for Formula Ford by Jay Ivey
• Original type exhaust header
• Engine has not been run on a dynamometer
• The engine has about 3 hours of actual total track time since being totally rebuilt. Items listed as new were installed during the rebuild.

• 2 year old Fuel Safe fuel cell
• Windscreen has been cut down. It broke during the 1st practice session of the 1st race weekend (my shoulders are too wide)

I have the SCCA logbook for the car dating back to 1973. This is the 2nd book issued. I do not have the 1st. Car was raced in California in Late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s The identity plate on the car is a reproduction. The original plate will accompany the car, but it is in very poor condition. It was not removed when a prior owner sandblasted the frame.
