M139 XFC currently on ebay!

He did turn it into a trackcar.

If it is going to get an MSA logbook...mandatory for stage Rallying it still needs an awful lot to convert it
1) Battery master cut off switch inside & out
2) In date seats
3) In date seat belts
4) MSA spec Mud flaps
5) Petrol tank guard
6) Window film ...
7) As he states an extinguisher system...plumbed
Hand held extinguisher .
Unfortunately the smaller things like those mentioned above,take up the most time and send the costs up.
Must admit a good basis though.

I am sure M139 will grace this forum someday ;)

A lot are being hoarded now as they are at that modern classic stage now.

So here's the storey.....
Now before the haters jump in about ruining a classic a)it was a full on track car before I bought it b)it isn't a low mileage minter (few marks, rusty arches, 11 owners, 137k!) c)the lightest clio is a mk1 and the most powerful mk1 is the williams d)no I probably wouldn't spend an estimated £6k building this but I bought it for considerably less!

It's stripped out with cage and bucket seats etc, coilovers, 4pot brakes, cammed/ported and mapped to approx 180bhp, LSD with 4.1cwp.

So the plan is to msa log book it when the last bits like extinguishers etc are done, then use it for track days and single venue tarmac rallies.

Hope you approve!

Bert.

very nice - it was a good looking car when i last saw when a guy called Steve had it.

Dont feel bad in anyway - use it for what you intend.

Where abouts are you located? Is there many Mk1's competing that you know of?
