0171 - Owned by the northrop Brothers since 2006.
Northy purchased this car with a failed head and head gasket when he bought his CUP car racer from a guy in Norwich…the car was a non runner and had been laid up for numerous years in a barn. It came in the sale as a bonus.
0171 Used to be a demonstrator for its first owner at Graham Goodie racing and is no stranger to Nick at Hill Power. Receipts for engine work in the history total £4000 alone on one build. The history documents that it had a fresh engine installed prior to its trip to Nick at Hill and were reported to be running over 200bhp!
Sadly this engine didn’t last – The previous owner stated the bottom end went and all but the head was scrap. A secondhand Renault 19 engine was fitted, and the car was laid up some time later having covered a total of 130,000miles since December 1993.
A replacement 'F7R 2.0' engine has been fitted.
It has been sorned since 2006.
