Trev-the-Rev Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 After much pondering and head scratching I have decided to put my race car up for sale. I shall probably regret doing this, but I'm just not getting enough use out it to warrant keeping it. Anyway, check out my ad on PH at http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/176789.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-the-Rev Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 It's not actually a kit car Val. It's hand built by a guy called Steve Owen in York to your own specification. It cost me close to £28k in 2004. It weighs around 300 kilos and with about 170 bhp on tap does the standing 1/4 in about 10 sec with a terminal speed of 109 mph. I don't know the exact 0-60 but would imagine it's close to 3 secs. I've had 3 really good seasons with it and it currently holds the class records at Pembrey, Llandow and Colerne.

Chesterfield Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Just had a little row with the missus earlier today abot her wanting to move house again, and me wanting to enjoy this one now we have had most of the work done. I showed her this advert just out of interest, and she took great enjoyment in pointing out that if we had a house with another garage I would have somewhere to store something like that I think Id chew my right arm off to have a 350 in one garage and a machine like that in another! Given my recent karting experience though it would probably be a brief ownership experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkfish Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Awesome, Trev! You'll be sorry to see it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 It weighs around 300 kilos and with about 170 bhp on tap does the standing 1/4 in about 10 sec with a terminal speed of 109 mph. I don't know the exact 0-60 but would imagine it's close to 3 secs. I'd say thats a fair assumption Trev. Put it into context guys - that 1/4 time is as quick as a 750cc bike & some 1000cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 10 sec 1/4 mile is fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Looks really nice. Pity its open wheels as I do tracks not hill climbs therefore would not get on many tracks. I know someone who hill climbs an elise and a few of the LoTRDC drivers, if you want to have a chat/advice as your PH advert says you are looking for lotus PM me PS if someone is looking at this, I have been on track at Abbeville with a Jedi and it just appeared from no where, things like this are real quick.
