The Triumph TR4, a classic British sports car and formidable competition machine. Solid build quality with great handling characteristics and a strong, reliable 2.2 litre 4 cylinder engine. This car has been a race car for a long time. It was brought to us in 2015 having been stored for many years. The car received a complete refresh, overhauling the suspension and brakes and bringing the car up to current levels of preparation with a new roll cage, new Cobra racing seats and harnesses, new fire extinguisher system, stack rev counter plus many more improvements. Since then the car has been developed further with adjustments to suspension and spring rates. The current owners have used the car regularly in CSCC Swinging 60’s, HSCC Historic Road Sports and HRDC Allstars. The car has proven to be very reliable with no major issues in the last two seasons. The car is finished in an Aston Martin green metallic which really suits the car. The wings are light weight aluminium but could be swapped for steel to easily qualify for an FIA HTP. This car is an ideal starting point for anyone who wants to get into racing historic sports and GT’s, reliable with huge potential. Fresh for 2018, this car is available to buy now and ready to race.

1958 Volvo PV544 Historic Race Car FOR SALE

A rare opportunity to own the one of the longest serving Volvo race cars with genuine period race history. The car was purchased in the United States by it’s original owner John Flannery, a prolific hill climber in Pennsylvania, and was modified and taken to the hills. Included in the sale is a collection of original race programs from events the Volvo took part in dating from 1969-1974. Between these dates the Volvo achieved 5 class records and won the class championship outright in both 1969 and 1970 winning 8 out of 10 events both years. He sold the Volvo in 1992 to another Pennsylvania hill climber Craig Danks. Danks recommissioned the PV and took it back to the hills for another 10 year stint where the car again achieved many class wins.

Fast forward to 2007 and the car was up for sale again. It was imported to the UK and immediately prepared for a new career as a historic touring car. The PV required only a small amount of welding, before we could carry out a very sympathetic paint job. All of the original stickers were retained and carefully masked around. We left the interior as it was to retain the patina that we love so much in a historic racing car. The mechanicals were rebuilt at this time with a new B18 engine to bring the car up to spec. The PV544 has continued its success with class wins at Brands Hatch, an outright win at Snetterton and 3rd overall in the St Mary’s Trophy at the 2008 Goodwood Revival in the hands of Andy Rouse and Shaun Rainford.

This is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on a potential front running car with history. The is available fully prepped with a freshly rebuilt engine. Viewing can be arranged during business hours by contacting Daniel.
