Ex Tuck Thomas USA. Well known much admired car. Possibly holds record for the longest continuous-running history for contemporary F5000 racing of approx 224 races @ 77 mtgs over the past 17 years since initial NZ restoration.

Raced @ 7 NZ tracks, also Sandown, SMPark, Philip Island & Albert Park F1 support + Brands Hatch & Zolder. Twice winner NZ F5000 Tasman Revival Series & 2nd overall in last season’s Tasman Revival Series to the master himself, Ken Smith, with a 100% finish rate + many other podiums over the years. Absolutely NO major impacts or wall contact sustained in all that time.

Immaculately maintained & prepared irrespective of any cost or time by fully qualified mechanic-owner/driver, incl 6 month full-time complete stripdown & rebuild in 2010 when, among a host of other things, new bladders (MTO in USA) with submerged EFI pumps were fitted.

Fantastic bullet-proof engine built by highly respected Chch hi-perf/race/F5000 engine specialist Steve Weeber has done just 5 meetings since an extensive-new-parts freshen by Steve last winter. Engine has top-line components incl CNC lightened GM Bowtie M/Sport block, Callies L/W crank, Manley rods, Jesel belt-drive & rocker gear, AFR heads, 4 stage Weaver, period-correct magnesium intake & hidden-from-sight MSD with crank-trigger

Large amount of other work also done before last season incl complete DG300 re-build, new CW&P, custom made L/W flywheel, new 3 plate 5 1/2” Tilton clutch & hydraulic brg, new front w/brgs, seat-belts, gel battery, alloy radiators, rebuilt brakes, re-certified fire system, etc etc.

Anything that ever failed was always re-engineered for maximum reliability by the best available for the job so there are some excellent improvements.

Price incl 1 spare set Arrow rims on slicks + 1 set period-correct magnesium rims on wets. Separate extensive spares package also available containing just about everything you'd ever need to keep you up & running on the day. Very lovely car is race-ready
